Generating custom methods in Eclipse

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,

  • using the active contribution URI: menu:org.eclipse.jdt.ui.source.menu?after=additions
  • with the active action definition identifier: org.eclipse.jdt.ui.edit.text.java.generate.tostring
  • using the active contribution item class: GenerateToStringAction (package org.eclipse.jdt.ui.actions)
  • from the contributing plugin: org.eclipse.jdt.ui

I cannot find the source of that class on the internet, so I will copy it here for you to examine its content:
