In C:\Program Files\MyEclipse\eclipse\plugins\com.genuitec.eclipse.hibernate_4.1.0\templates I see most of the templates that MyEclipse uses to generate the POJO's when Hibernate does its thing.

What I don't see is the template where the dao is generated. Also, does anyone have a list of variables that are exposed by Velocity for purposes of customizing the generated artifiacts?

Basically, I want to generate the comments necessary to keep my Checkstyle plug-in happy.

Thanks,

Chris

Chris I'll look intot his for you.

Chris,

That template directory is from our older tools and will be removed.

http://www.myeclipseide.com/products/eworkbench/public-src/myeclipse_templates_4.1.0.zip
Zip containing templates current to MyEclipse 4.1. Instructions for how to work with them are in the README in the zip.

I think that should be all you need to know - but please let us know if you require further assistance,
Best,
Brian.

Brian,

Thanks alot. I'll check it out.

Chris

Brian,

I notice that certain comments and methods should be generated if I'm using jdk5. However, even with the compiler set to 5.0, it's not generating the generic list support that I see in the DAO templates.

How do I configure this to generate the correct methods?

Thanks,

Chris

Chris,

We have explicitly turned Java 5 generation off since we don't officially support it yet.

If you want to try it, edit the template you want JDK 5 support for and at the top, add this line

Code:

#set ($jdk5=true)

Let us know how it turns out,
Best,
Brian.

Brian,

When might this support be in place? I'm currently getting this error:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: expected jdk5 to be bound to false but was to true

Chris,

We will most likely include JDK5 support in a release post 4.1.1, which is a maintanence release.

I had no idea there would be a problem resetting the variable. The only suggestion I can make is to replace all instances of $jdk5 in your template to something else.. $cjdk perhaps and set that to true instead. Then you won't be messing with a preset variable, and Velocity won't have a problem.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused, but we still need to beef up JDK5 support until which point we don't intend to support it at a UI level.

Let me know if you have further issues,
Best,
Brian.

Brian,

Thanks for the info. Do you have a timeframe for the 4.1.1 maintenance release?

Chris

Chris,

Sorry for my confusing sentence above. 4.1.1 is due sometime this week, but will not include JDK 5 support as it is a maintanence release.
We will look at supporting JDK 5 only after 4.1.1.

Best,
Brian.

Brian,

Ah, missed the "post" 4.1.1 comment. I've manually added generics and comments so I'll test those.

Thanks,

Chris
