Thank you very much for this.
I'm sure this would work. My only concern is that - by putting my code in the template - I've made it harder to modify and develop the code. But that's not a significant problem in most situations.
Cheers,
Bruno.

You can extend the template used to generate value objects (valueobject.xdt) with code that will create the compareTo method for you. The templates aren't too hard to modify, and the equals method should be a good starting point for you.
Alternatively, you can more easily modify the template to include a custom value object merge point *for each class* (the current merge point at the bottom of the file is for a single custom code block for the whole build, not one per bean). This allows you to write plain Java code to be included. You'll of course need to keep your merge files up-to-date with any attribute changes in your beans, but that shouldn't be that bad.
If you go the latter route, you just need to insert "-{0}" somewhere in the merge file name.
