If at generation time, then you simply store it in a local var in your 
generation code and hang on to it.

If you are loading and need to distinguish it then, you could prefix it 
with a specially named string constant, e.g.:

  final String mySpecialArrayIsNext = "my special array is next";
  ...
But why do you need to do this? Code just runs. Do you need to mark the 
class file as being marked up in some way? You could simply insert a 
constant attribute to indicate that, perhaps storing the code location 
in it if you need to know where.

I would try instead to restructure your problem so that you don't need 
to do this at all.
