On the subject of contributed tasks: Do think there
would be any interest in a task I recently created
that generates Java source code for a simple bean?
The task reads a comma delimited file with two
columns. The second column lists the names of the
simple bean's properties and the first column lists
the data type of each property. I use this task to
rapidly create useBeans. It outputs the Java source
code with a package statement, import statements,
properties and the getters and setters.
The task has 4 attributes: the comma delimited source
file; a semi colon delimited list of import
statements; the full class name of the Java source
code to be generated (the directory structure is
parsed and becomes the package statement of the source
code); and the directory to which the generated Java
source code is saved.
I attached 3 files as a sample: a csv file (called
"account.csv"), the task source code (called
"BeanCodeGenerator") and the output source code
(called "account.java").
Here is contents of the build file:
<project name="MyProject" default="compile"
basedir="G:/mycode">
<taskdef name="generatebeancode"
classname="util.BeanCodeGenerator"/>
<property name="src" value="./src"/>
<property name="build" value="build"/>
<target name="prepare">
<mkdir dir="${build}"/>
</target>
<target name="compile" depends="prepare">
<javac srcdir="${src}" includes="util/**"
destdir="${build}"/>
</target>
<target name="codegenexample">
<generatebeancode
sourcefile="${basedir}
\src\codegensrc\account.csv"
imports="java.util.*;java.io.*"
fullclassname="myproject.account"
outputdirectory="${basedir}\src\myproject"
/>
</target>
</project>
