Maintain a list of files to overwrite
-------------------------------------
Key: MUSE-173
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MUSE-173
Project: Muse
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Tooling - Code Generation
Reporter: Andrew Eberbach
Assigned To: Andrew Eberbach
Fix For: 2.2.0
When regenerating into a directory, extra care must be taken to not overwrite
work. However, the current code generation only has an all-or-nothing approach:
overwrite everything or overwrite nothing.
This should be changed so that when generating code, a manifest of all of the
files that will probably never have hand-written code in them should be created
in the project directory root. Then, when regenerating there are three options:
1. Overwrite nothing
2. Overwrite everything
3. Overwrite only the files that are listen in the manifest
This has some nice features.
1. By default, using the Muse-172 feature the concrete implementation classes
would be left out of the manifest so that only the interface and the abstract
class would be regenerated.
2. If there were files that the user added to the project, they would also not
get overwritten since they are not in the list of files.
3. If a user doesn't want a specific file to be regenerated they can just edit
the manifest (it's a text file with one file per line) and take out the file.
This should also support standard # comments.
