+                NOTE: There is one limitation when using the MetaClass
+                generator. The source code must have fully-qualified
+                imports. The MetaClass tool may not be able to resolve
+                names of classes if they are not fully qualified. This
+                is particularly important when specifying type fields
+                of dependency and service tags.
