Suggestions and Requests / Java Modeling and Code Generation Refinement
« on: March 20, 2003, 09:22:51 am »
Since there wasn't any negative reaction to posting desires here, I'll get it started.
--------
The current Help system states that the code generation functions are in the early stages and will be refined in future versions. I have a few requests that will drastically help this development. Most will be from a Java development perspective, but I'm sure they will be useful across the board.
1. Add an option to "lock" the filename to the object name. Currently, when I create a class "Address" the Filename under General Properties is "Address.java." If the class name is changed to "AddressVO", the filename should also change to "AddressVO.java". Another option should attempt to rename any existing "Address.java" file during code generation. This also should hold true for packages.
2. Packaging structure needs to be refined for code generation. Currently, packages are not created as directories. The code is defaulting into a user directory, or in Windows XP, to the desktop. If my root "Logical View" directory changes, the code should be generated in the new place, with package directories created as well.
More later.
