(nnn.)code2code is an eclipse plugin to generate source code from templates.

You can easily create your custom generators using known template engines: Groovy (JSP like), Freemarker or Velocity.

See it in action here.

Note: nnn.code2code is a fork of code2code with extra features (save/load parameters, allow overwride)

The files:

HelloWorld.generator |-- templates |-- HelloWorldTemplate.txt.ftl |-- ListParams.ftl |-- templates.ftl |-- postactions.ftl |-- params.ftl 

Contents of HelloWorldTemplate.txt.ftl:

Hello ${name}!!! 

Contents of ListParams.ftl:

Print vars => name=${name} 

Contents of params.ftl:

name=World 

Contents of templates.ftl:

templates/HelloWorldTemplate.txt.ftl=src/destinationPath/HelloWorld.txt 

Contents of postactions.ftl

templates/ListParams.ftl 

Installing generators: just create a folder named "generators" at the root of your project, and place your generators there.

Running generators: The plugin adds a " Generate... " option to your project context menu (right-click menu). Run it, choose one of your installed generators, set its parameters, and the plugin will generate the files to the right place.
