  Description     : Collection of source code generators for Java.

Java is full of code that is mechanical, repetitive, typically untested, and
sometimes the source of subtle bugs. Sounds like a job for robots! The Auto
subprojects are a collection of code generators that automate those types of
tasks. They create the code you would have written, but without the bugs. Save
time. Save code. Save sanity.

**********

It's likely that this would be better packaged as 4 distinct packages:
google-auto-factory-java, google-auto-service-java, google-auto-value-java,
and google-common-java. That decision is left to the adopter.

**********

Dear Prospective Packager,

This package is part of the dependency chain for medical and scientific
community resources that the Debian Med team has identified as relevant to the
COVID-19 pandemic. If you are able to participate in this endeavor [1], your
assistance is greatly appreciated!

It looks like this can be avoided in the Bazel build. It should probably
still be packaged at some point but that packaging is not urgent.
