Annotation Interface ExtendedEnum

@Target(TYPE) @Retention(SOURCE) public @interface ExtendedEnum
The `ExtendedEnum` annotation is used to mark an enum class for enhanced functionality. When applied, this annotation instructs the annotation processor to generate additional methods that provide efficient ways to retrieve enum constants based on specified fields. 

 @ExtendedEnum(cacheKeys = {"name", "code"})
 public enum MyEnum {
     VALUE_ONE("Name1", "Code1"),
     VALUE_TWO("Name2", "Code2");

     private final String name;
     private final String code;

     MyEnum(String name, String code) {
         this.name = name;
         this.code = code;
     }
 }
