Description zwollner 2005-07-05 17:35:16 UTC

I think it would be very heplful if there was a tool that allowed easy creation
of some basic methods like: (toString, equals, hashCode).
creating thses three for almost every class is very time consuming, now I'm sure
everyone creates all these slightly different so if there were some sort of
template we could edit that would be very helpful.

also if anyone wants a copy of the project let me know, I'd be happy to email it
to you.

sorry that last comment was ment for another issue please ingnore it or delete it

Comment 3 Jan Becicka 2005-08-25 10:33:15 UTC

Ctrl-I does not work for you?

Comment 4 zwollner 2005-08-25 15:25:58 UTC

Well thanks, I never knew about that. But is there anyway to edit the template
or something, because the methods arn't like I need them to be.

Comment 5 sleepgod001 2005-09-19 10:31:20 UTC

I strongly agree this feature.

Ctrl+I do the work, but it only create an empty function.

What do you say if you can create the function like it.


  public int hashCode() { 
    int hash = 1;
    hash = hash * 31 + someNonNullField.hashCode();
    hash = hash * 31 
                + (someOtherField == null ? 0 : someOtherField.hashCode());
    return hash;
  }

You iterator all not-trasient members and generate the code, there have some
rules i believe you know as well. I list them here just for the safe side.

Calculate hashcode for data type
long, calculate (int)f ^ (f >>> 32)) 
float, Float.floatToIntBits(f) 
double, Double.doubleToLongBits(f)
Object, if is null, =0, or return its own hashCode()


Same thing to equals() and toString().

It would be a great help if you can apply it.

Thanks

Editor issue. Probably implemented...

equals and hashCode should be implemented as of NB6.0M8, AFAIK. toString is
still missing.

Comment 9 reister 2008-03-14 06:11:05 UTC

The toString code insert was in 5.5 (and maybe 5.0?), can't seem to find it in 6.
