Hi Martin,
No I don't know any. I personally don't see the need for one for 2
reasons:
1/ I don't what is difficult in typing:
public class MyclassTest extends ServletTestCase
2/ This can be done with a macro in your IDE
Or do you mean other advanced feature?
What I don't like with generators is that they tend to be verbose. I'm
sure that instead of what I've written in 1/, your generator would have
written instead:
public class MyclassTest extends ServletTestCase
{
public MyclassTest(String name)
{
super(name);
}
public static Test suite()
{
return new TestSuite(MyclassTest.class);
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
....
no? ;-)
