Research direction

Start by reading the java-interop page and the compilation page's runtime section to understand the existing gen-class examples and coverage. Add a gen-class section with examples and relevant behaviors, and link the two pages where useful; done means the Java interop page no longer omits gen-class and the related compilation guidance is improved.

Description

Currently the java-interop page mention and have details about all java interop but gen-class, would be nice if it could have a section just mentioning gen-class with examples and possible behaviors.

There is already a compilation page mentioning some examples, we could improve it and link from the java-interop one maybe
