Adapt Getters/Setters syntax [message #870663]

Hi,

I am currently working with code generated via EMF.
We are prefixing our attributes with letters, but we would like to have getters/setters generated by EMF with normal syntax.

For example :
attribute : String mPipo;
Generated getter : public String getMPipo(){...}
Wanted getter : public String getPipo(){...}

By looking at Class.javajet template, it seems that method used for defined accessor name is genFeature.getGetAccessorName.

I fail to find where this method search its template for format getter name.

How can we tell to EMF using an other template without rewrite half of *javajet files?

Thx for help,

Tony.

What's the purpose of such prefixes? All names in the Ecore model will
be used directly to produce the Java names so best you use well formed
Java names.

It doesn't use a template. It's implemented in the GenModel logic.

You can't.

If you want to control the names that appear in the XML/XMI, it would be
better to use extended meta data annotations for those and use nice Java
names for the actual model.
