Hi everyone!
I have some enhancement suggestions. First, in the "Files | JDE New"
menu, there is no option for automatic generation of interfaces.
Ofcourse one could always generate a class and then modify it so it
becomes an interface, but after doing this a number of times, at least I
get fed up with it. ;)
So below I have included some code which adds the capability for
automatic generation of interfaces. Perhaps this will be included in the
next release?
Perhaps even the definition of the jde-new-buffer-menu menu should be
customizable?
-------------- jde.el ---------------------------
(defvar jde-new-buffer-menu
(list
"JDE New"
["Class..." jde-gen-class-buffer t]
["Interface..." jde-gen-interface-buffer t]
["Console..." jde-gen-console-buffer t]
["Other..." jde-gen-buffer t]
)
"Menu for creating new Java buffers.")
-------------- jde.el ---------------------------
-------------- jde-gen.el ---------------------------
(defun jde-gen-get-super-interface ()
(let ((super-class (read-from-minibuffer "extends: "))
)
(cond
((not (string= super-class ""))
(concat "extends " super-class)))))
(defcustom jde-gen-interface-buffer-template
'(
"(funcall jde-gen-boilerplate-function) 'n"
"\"/**\" 'n"
"\" * \""
"(file-name-nondirectory buffer-file-name) 'n"
"\" *\" 'n"
"\" *\" 'n"
"\" * Created: \" (current-time-string) 'n"
"\" *\" 'n"
"\" * @author \" (user-full-name) 'n"
"\" * @version\" 'n"
"\" */\" 'n>"
"'n>"
"\"public interface \""
"(file-name-sans-extension (file-name-nondirectory
buffer-file-name))"
"\" \" (jde-gen-get-super-interface) \" {\" 'n> 'p 'n>"
"\"} // \""
"(file-name-sans-extension (file-name-nondirectory
buffer-file-name))"
"'n>")
"*Template for new Java interface.
Setting this variable defines a template instantiation
command `jde-gen-interface', as a side-effect."
:group 'jde-gen
:type '(repeat string)
:set '(lambda (sym val)
(defalias 'jde-gen-interface
(tempo-define-template "java-interface-buffer-template"
(jde-gen-read-template val)
nil
"Insert a generic Java interface buffer
skeleton."))
(set-default sym val)))
;;;###autoload
(defun jde-gen-interface-buffer (file)
"Create a new Java buffer containing an interface of the same name.
This command inserts the class template generated by
`jde-gen-interface'.
It then moves the point to the location of the constructor."
(interactive "F")
(find-file file)
(jde-gen-interface)
(beginning-of-buffer)
(search-forward "{")
(backward-char 1)
(c-indent-exp)
(tempo-forward-mark))
-------------- jde-gen.el ---------------------------
My next improvement suggestion is this (I have just upgraded from JDE
2.1.4 to JDE 2.1.6.beta14 so I don't know if this has already been
implemented). When you work in a large project, and the project is run
within a large company like Ericsson, the package names tend to be quite
long, e.g. se.ericsson.rns.om.em.eem.pm.client.gui.management, and each
time you create a new class within a package you have to remember to add
a package statement at the top. It would be very nice if the autocoding
would add this package statement, for instance by using a variable
defining a package root and the directory where the new file is placed?

I was doing object-oriented assembly when I was 1 year old...
For some reason my mom insists on calling it "Playing with blocks"
