Code generation in Eclipse

Question

What is the most useful code generation tool in eclipse, velocity or jet templates? Anybody has experience with both of them and know the pro and cons?

Answer 1

I don't know about Jet, but I like Velocity very much. I especially like the fact that it looks so much like the end product. I think it makes things easier than something like JSP for generating HTML.

Answer 2

In the Telosys Eclipse plugin we are using Velocity 1.7 ( for scaffolding and for wizards )

It works fine and it can be embedded in a plugin

Answer 3

You can also use AST (Abstract Syntax Tree) API in eclipse JDT.
