Package redora.generator Description

Code generator functions and the Maven plugin

Have a look at Getting started wiki on Google Code how to use the Maven plugin.
The generator uses Freemarker and XSLT templates to generate the source code. The ModelProcessor organizes the code generation and it uses the GeneratorTemplate to see what source files it has to create. The template files are retrieved by ModelFileFinder. You can change the generated code by adding your own template.
You can also add templates for new functionality, for example when you want to create a jQuery Javascript client. In that case you must change the templates.xml file. This file is handled by GeneratorTemplate.
