For my own project, I've cleaned/improved (well, depending on your point of view ;) ) the code in DefaultGenerator ( https://github.com/lukaseder/jOOQ/blob/master/jOOQ-codegen/src/main/java/org/jooq/util/DefaultGenerator.java ).
The work is based on the wisdom that I've gathered with code generators over the past 20 years: - database is now a field for most methods - The huge generate methods have been split into many smaller methods where each method generates one piece of the code. Each of them is protected to allow to modify the generated code - Removed the XXX comments since each piece of code can now be found in its own method. - Wrap all checked exception in RuntimeException to get rid of useless try-catch blocks and throws lists The result allows me to generate additional getters/setters for foreign keys which accept the remote type as value to set the ID. I'm willing to contribute these changes back. Let me know if you're interested. Regards, A. Digulla
