Class GeneratorTemplate

java.lang.Object
  redora.generator.GeneratorTemplate

public class GeneratorTemplate
extends Object

The generator uses a bean-counterish template file located in /target/generated-resources/templates.xml (look it up in the sources). There are all the templates in use. You can override this template by adding your own templates.xml in your project's resources directory. Keep in mind that you have to track any changes in templates.xml (simply do a diff in Google Codes source browser). Check this diff whenever you upgrade a version of Redora.
By overriding this templates file, you can for example add newe templates that will be used by the generator. For example to create an client that uses SmartGWT or ExtJS, whatever you prefer of course.
This class handles this thing.
