Generating ArrayList, Getters, Setters and public constructors in Java [message #1804851]

Hi,

I am starting to like Papyrus Designer mainly because it honors the inheritance hierarchy and adds comments for the fields. Thanks guys. However, I would like clear steps to do the following:
1- Generate Lists/ArrayLists instead of arrays.
2- Generate getters and setters.
3- Generate public constructors.
4- Create macros that can apply model wide changes e.g. add a stereotype to all fields.

I hope this isn't too much to ask for :)

Regards,
Mohamed Ismail

One more thing. After a quick review of the designer's code I found that it uses Xtend for M2T. Can I change/add Xtend files without have to recompile everything? Just recompiling the module org.eclipse.papyrus.designer.languages.java ?

Hi,

After lots of searches I found the below link to a video that describes how to do a workaround for generating a List<> of items. It is not very nice but it does the trick. I am not sure whether this solution is outdated and there is a more updated one or not:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqvbXFrHCrU&list=PLCTWqbu-D5bMQDDrbgRWoVxUqtiSx4V34&index=12

If this is the only solution available then my list of updated inquiries are:
1- Generate getters and setters.
2- Generate public constructors.
3- Create macros that can apply model wide changes e.g. add a stereotype to all fields.

Thanks

Hi,

if you want to change xtend files, it is sufficient to have only the concerned plugin in your workspace (provided that the required plugins are installed). In order to become effective, you need to either export the plugin to your eclipse installation or start a 2nd eclipse instance.

Concerning the workaround shown in the video: yes, that is an option although not very clean. Since we have a similar request in the context of C++, i..e. user defined ways to handle multiplicities > 1, we plan to add this possibility in the future, but I do not have an exact release date yet.
