Omit type string in item provider getText [message #661379]

The item provide getText code is usually generated as:

String label = ((Foo)object).getName();
return label == null || label.length() == 0 ?
getString("_UI_Foo_type") :
getString("_UI_Foo_type") + " " + label;

that means the text is prefixed with the element's type in any case. Is
there any easy way to omit this type already at code generation time? I
did search various posts and blogs but could not find a suitable answer.
What about runtime, any chance to smoothly get rid of the prefix?

Thanks in advance
Jan
