BeanMaker v2.27

©2000-2008 CyLog Software

BeanMaker is an innovative and fully customizable source code generator, designed to help boost a programmer's productivity. It can generate any kind of files (*.java, *.xml, *.tld) using simple text templates enhanced with with special tags.

BeanMaker works for any kind of programming language, although it was designed originally for Java and J2EE programmers. Whether you are looking for consistent source code look and feel across development teams, simplification of repetitive tasks or just error free code generation BeanMaker is a tool that can be very helpful. Ease of use and functionality-rich template tags make this utility an essential tool for every developer.

Unlike other code generators BeanMaker does not tie you to the generation engine. Once the code is produced, it's all yours. That means you can modiyf it, add features to it and generally speaking use it as a boiler-plate code.

BeanMaker features:

  • Fully re-programmable template engine
  • Powerful template tags, loop tags, function tags
  • Configuration settings saved in simple XML files
  • Preview of the generated source files, automatic creation
  • Automatic saving of preferences
  • Build-in text editor for properties and templates
  • User defined recursive tags
  • User defined bean types saved in XML descriptors
  • Automatic creation of directories and filenames
  • Preview of available tags and their calculated values
