JClockWork

This eclipse plugin project was created to reduce the time-consuming process of creating code manually to assign property values of one java bean to another. Using a simple interface this plugin will allow users to add mappings between the two beans. On a click of a button code will be generated that maps properties to each other based on the user's selections.

Supported features

Mappings can vary between array to collection or vice versa, array or collection to
nested bean and nested bean to array or collection.

String to date, Date to String, String to char, Char to string, String to int,
Int to string

Converts a bean type to a user specified type using a pattern.

Merge any number of bean properties into one property located in the target Java bean.

Since this project is open-source one can easily write converter classes in Java.

Places conditionals in the generated code that skips mapping of empty strings or null values.

Features for future versions

The possibility of generating Java code mapping bean properties from XMLBeans sources.
