Customize entity generation from database in NetBeans 8

I already know how to "create entity classes from datatable" and how to use them etc., but the created entity classes does not completely fit my requirements.

For example

  • I need to have extra annotations for ID creation to my ID field.
  • Fields of Type Number(19,0) should be of Type Long instead of BigDecimal or similar

I wonder if there is a way to change those entity templates?

In my NetBeans IDE I cannot find a way to do so, so "open in Editor" button is disabled, as you can see below.

enter image description here

So, is it possibile to change the way those entity classes are created? If yes, where and how to do so?
