I want to generate custom methods in Eclipse like the way we can generate toString, getters and settlers (right click -> source ->). Could anyone tell me what is involved in doing this?
Thanks,
Dutch
You could add your own action after the recent (Eclipse Galileo 3.5) generate toString()
action,
menu:org.eclipse.jdt.ui.source.menu?after=additions
org.eclipse.jdt.ui.edit.text.java.generate.tostring
GenerateToStringAction
(package org.eclipse.jdt.ui.actions
)I cannot find the source of that class on the internet, so I will copy it here for you to examine its content:
