Hello Paul, thanks for your enlightening reply.<br><br>The plugin is about a code generator for a home made Java EE6 framework and for instance it will generate very simple xhtml and java classes, so for example the generate-controller plugin would generate <br>
<br><i>@ViewAccessScoped<br>@Named("personMBean")<br>public class PersonMBean extends AbstractBaseMBean<Person> implements Serializable, ModalObserver {<br> <br> @Inject<br> public void setPersonService(PersonService personService) {</i>//service layer will be generated togheter<i><br>
super.setBaseService(personService);<br> }<br><br>some other very simple methods<br>}</i><br><br>for the controller-plugin maybe i dont need to understand the model class (just to import it) cause its just a matter of replacing parammeters by the domain object but in the view-plugin it will be necessary for sure.<br>
<br>Another concern i have is how to format the generated code? maybe the velocity template could help on that.<br>
<br>Ive seen the Arquillian example, how can i clone it and forge project?<br><br>Thanks again!<div><div><br><br> <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2011/10/23 Paul Bakker <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:paul.bakker.nl@gmail.com" target="_blank">paul.bakker.nl@gmail.com</a>></span><br>

<div style="word-wrap:break-word"><div>Hi Rafael,</div><div><br></div>There are two things you need to do:<div>1) "understand" the Person class</div><div>2) generate new code</div><div><br></div><div><br></div>
<div>
1)</div><div>You can use a command parameter to get the Person class: @Option(name = "class", required = true, type = PromptType.JAVA_CLASS) JavaResource classUnderTest</div><div><br></div><div>JavaResource is a rich file representation of the class. </div>
<div>Now you can use the JavaSourceFacet to get information about the class itself:</div><div><div><br></div><div>JavaSourceFacet java = project.getFacet(JavaSourceFacet.class);</div><div>JavaSource<?> javaSource = classUnderTest.getJavaSource();</div>
</div><div><br></div><div>javaSource has methods such as getPackage() etc.</div><div><br></div><div>2)</div><div>Now you have to generate code. There are two ways to do this, depending on your needs.</div><div>The most elegant way is to use the "JavaParser" builder API:</div>
<div><br></div><div><div>JavaClass javaClass = JavaParser.create(JavaClass.class)</div><div> .setPackage(entityPackage)</div><div> .setName(entityName)</div><div> .setPublic()</div>
<div> .addAnnotation(Entity.class).getOrigin()</div><div> .addInterface(Serializable.class);</div></div><div>Field<JavaClass> id = javaClass.addField("private Long id = null;"); </div>
<div>….</div><div><br></div><div>My experience is that this works best for small classes. If you need to generate a lot of code it might be better to use a tempting framework such as Apache Velocity.</div><div>You can find an example of this in the code of the Arquillian plugin: <a href="https://github.com/forge/plugin-arquillian/blob/master/src/main/java/org/jboss/seam/forge/arquillian/ArquillianPlugin.java#L93" target="_blank">https://github.com/forge/plugin-arquillian/blob/master/src/main/java/org/jboss/seam/forge/arquillian/ArquillianPlugin.java#L93</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>You can just add Velocity to your pom file and it will work.</div><div><br></div><div>If you have any more questions, let us know! What kind of plugin are you writing?</div><div><br></div><div>Paul Bakker</div>

<br>my question is, what's the best way to generate .java, .xhtml files with forge?<br>
<br>Id like to write a plugin which would receive an entity class as parameter and generate some code on top of it, eg:<br><br><code>$ generate-service Person</code><br><code>$ generate-controller Person</code><br>
<code>$ </code><code>generate-view</code> <code>Person</code><br><br><br>Where Person is a domain object, is it possible with Forge? if yes, whats the best way?<br>
