Hello, I have a suggestion for the Eclipse IDE. I'd like to discuss it with people who are involved in development but I do not know which forum to use of the myriad of availabe forums.

My suggestion is this, add an generator method for creating an converter class/method, much like the generate getters/setters or generate hash code/equals functionality of the editor.

I work as a developer and I encounter the need to convert between different Java Beans (BO objects or DTO objects for instance) quite often. The architecture usually demands it to keep different layers separated (presentation and server layers).

This work is tedious and a feature that could generate parts of the work would be great.

Many thanks for any help that points me in the right direction

Enter it as a feature request in Bugzilla (against the JDT product, Text
subcomponent). Check first to make sure it isn't already there...

WTP would be a better place: JDT knows nothing about JavaBeans.
