How does Eclipse generates code?? [message #197054] Wed, 28 February 2007 17:50

Hello, I would like to know how the wizards of an IDE (I'm using Eclipse)
automatically generate code. I've searched in code and found out that some
of them only interpretate the inputs and 'spit' code to the editor using
the java.io.PrintWriter package, but apparently this is not the only way.
I guess that there's some package/plug-in (code generator) that receives
an input from the wizard, interpretate it and then throws the new code to
editor. This way, not every single wizard would have to contain it's own
interpretations and code generation but would have to send the information
that gathers to the code generator and let it do the rest. I'm only
guessing and I understand I need to search deeper, but a quick guide would
be really appreciated. So, if this is the case, what's the code generator
in the core of Eclipse??.

Thank you in advances.
