Jenerate is a Java Generation plugin for Eclipse that provides customizable code generation for Java classes.

Jenerate provides code generation for methods like:

• hashCode() and equals() (ALT+SHIFT+G then H)
• toString() (ALT+SHIFT+G then S)
• compareTo() (ALT+SHIFT+G then C)

The generated methods can use internal java.util.Objects class or external libraries such as Apache commons-lang[3] Builders and Google Guava.

A certain number of parameters can be customized in the Jenerate preference page in eclipse (Window > Preferences > Java > Jenerate).

You can install the Jenerate plugin via the Eclipse Marketplace or using the Jenerate update site from within Eclipse:

Jenerate is a fork of commons4e. It was forked to make it alive again and respond to users need for new functionalities.

Jenerate is under the EPL v1.0.

Any contributions are welcome!

The plugin is currently built using Gradle.

Please read the eclipse-config.txt in org.jenerate/setup folder : this is the current configuration I use for eclipse, so if you apply the same configuration, you should be able to commit without changes in terms of formatting.
