I am using the `hibernate-jpamodelgen` processor to generate JPA metamodel files in my project. During the build process, warnings are generated for `@see` comments in the generated code, referencing private fields in the entity classes. Below is an example:

```auto
/**
 * @see com.example.MyEntity#privateField
 **/
public static volatile SingularAttribute<MyEntity, SomeType> privateField_;

```

This causes warnings during the build, as the private field is inaccessible. These warnings pollute the logs and can lead to unnecessary noise in CI/CD pipelines.

**Request** : Please provide a way to:

1. Suppress or exclude comments in the generated files.
2. Configure the generated comments to avoid referencing private fields.

**Environment** :

- Hibernate JPAModelGen version: `6.5.2.Final`
- Java version: `21`
- Build tool: Maven

This was already improved in Hibernate ORM 7: [more improvements to generated Javadoc in Hibernate Processor · hibernate/hibernate-orm@f474cac · GitHub](https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-orm/commit/f474cacf8adf8adc8929798a065d53fedeba5732)

As you can see in [the documentation](https://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/orm/6.6/userguide/html_single/Hibernate_User_Guide.html#tooling-modelgen-options), you can provide a list of warnings to suppress via the `addSuppressWarningsAnnotation` option.
