[TEXO] autogenerate toString() should include super class [message #1441508]

Hi Martin,

When Texo auto-generates a model entity class it should generate a toString() method which includes it's parent class. It doesn't do that today.

Here is an example of current function:

@Entity()
public class SoftwareCategory extends Category {

	/**
	 * A toString method which prints the values of all EAttributes of this
	 * instance. <!-- begin-user-doc --> <!-- end-user-doc -->
	 * 
	 * @generated
	 */
	@Override
	public String toString() {
		return "SoftwareCategory ";
	}
}

I think it should generate:

	public String toString() {
		return "SoftwareCategory " + super.toString();
	}

Perhaps an annotation option to enable/disable this behavior would be best.

Thanks in advance for your consideration!
