cgf4j

Code generator framework for Java for easy and quick declaration and usage of code generators.

How to declare generators

Example generators can be found inside the module cgf4j-example-generators. The use of Xtend is optional but recommended because the templating engine is very powerful. See the Xtend documentation for more information.

1. Add cgf4j-api and org.eclipse.xtext.xbase.lib to your dependencies
2. Include the xtend-maven-plugin inside your build
3. Declare classes extending FileGenerator from cgf4j-api
4. Override the necessary methods to define the relative path, file name, file extension, file content and optionally file encoding of the generated file

How to use generators

Example usage can be found inside the module cgf4j-example-usage.

1. Add the cgf4j-maven-plugin to your build and include the dependency to your generator module
2. Configure the targetPath and optionally the generatorTypes to use
3. Use the build-helper-maven-plugin to include the generated files
