Hi guys,

I'm very stuck trying to create a custom generator. Have been investigating 
a lot regarding this and found this post on SO that is a similar problem to 
mine:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46429671/generate-enum-class-from-table-with-jooq

This post answer by Lukas, give a good idea of what I should do, however 
I'd need better details of implementation since I have no clue how to 
continue. I've created this SO question describing what I need in details 
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52171377/how-build-a-jooq-custom-generator. 
Basically, I have a postgres schema named "enums" where all the tables are 
like TYPES("name", "description"), and I have to create all groovy (or 
java) enums like below:

enum Types {
    OPEN("open status"), CLOSE("close status");

    private final String id;
    Types(String id) { this.id = id; }
    public String getValue() { return id; }}


According the post answer I have to create a class extending from 
JavaGenerator, however I was even unable to trigger my custom generator 
from the maven plugin. So, by using `*mvn -e jooq-codegen:generate*` I 
found this error:
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: 
com.ctgengine.customer.jooq.EnumGenerator
        at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:381)
        at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:424)
        at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:357)
        at 
org.jooq.codegen.GenerationTool.loadClass(GenerationTool.java:819)

In the maven plugin I have this snippet:

<generator>
    <!--<name>org.jooq.codegen.JavaGenerator</name>-->
    <name>com.ctgengine.customer.jooq.EnumGenerator</name>
...


And in my class I have:

class EnumGenerator extends JavaGenerator {
    @Override
    void generateTables(SchemaDefinition schema) {
    ....


Anyway, if I uncomment the JavaGenerator everything works fine.

So, I have two big gaps of knowledge where I need your help:
- Why my code isn't being picked by the maven plugin?
- Once I could link the plugin to my code, how can I do to generate groovy 
(or java) enums?

Thanks a lot in advance.
