Using value object generator
To use te processor generator you can use the script file vogenerator.bat or vogenerator.sh. You have probably some hands on the files to work with your environment.
The usage is the following:
Usage:jptools.pattern.vo.generator.ValueObjectGenerator [OPTIONS] OPTIONS: -o [path] Sets the output path -i [path or file] Sets the input file (directory or a file) OPTIONAL OPTIONS: -c [configuration.properties] Reads the generator and formatter base configuration. This file defines the global settings. -pc [configuration.properties] Reads the additional or project specific generator and formatter configuration. -verbose Sets on the verbose mode
The input definition defines either one or multiple files or a directory followed by the
names of the files in the directory to consider.
Configuration
The generator can be configured over a properties file. Additional the javadoc will be used to define some special behavior. The description of the configuration is here available.
