Abstract
A method for editing source code containing automatically generated source code includes detecting the automatically generated source code. The method further includes receiving modifications made by a user to the automatically generated source code and storing an indicator that the automatically generated source code has been modified by the user. In one alternative, the method further includes regenerating the automatically generated source code while preserving the modifications made by the user to the automatically generated source code.
