[forge-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (FORGE-1634) Make it simpler to add bean properties

Make it simpler to add bean properties -------------------------------------- Key: FORGE-1634 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-1634 Project: Forge Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Parsers / File Manipulation Affects Versions: 2.1.1.Final Reporter: Shane Bryzak Currently, to add a property to a java class you need to do this: Field<JavaClass> f = javaClass.addField("private String id = null;"); f.addAnnotation(Id.class); f.addAnnotation(Identifier.class); javaClass.addMethod("public String getId() {" + lineSeparator + " return id;" + lineSeparator + "}"); javaClass.addMethod("public void setId(String id) {" + lineSeparator + " this.id = id;" + lineSeparator + "}"); It would be much nicer if you could just do this: Property<JavaClass> p = javaClass.addProperty(Long.class, "id"); p.getField().addAnnotation(Id.class); p.getField().addAnnotation(GeneratedValue.class); I believe this would be simple to implement with the Property class acting as a simple wrapper around a Field (getField() ) and two Methods (getGetterMethod() / getSetterMethod() ).
