Provider

Identifier:
org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.ejb.annotations.emitter.provider

Since:
This extension point is part of an interim API that is still under development and expected to change significantly before reaching stability. It is being made available at this early stage to solicit feedback from pioneering adopters on the understanding that any code that uses this API will almost certainly be broken (repeatedly) as the API evolves.

Description:
This extension point allows clients to provide their own templates for annotation based code generation using the EJB code generation framework. This extension point provides a framework to define "Provider-Generator" sets that use EMF JET (Java Emitter Templates) to annotate Java code.

Examples:

   <extension
         point="org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.ejb.annotations.emitter.provider">
      <emitter 
            name="xdoclet"
            classpathProvider="org.emitter.path.MyEmitterClasspathPorvider"
            builderId="org.emitter.path.MyEmitterBuilder"
            sessionTemplates="templates/ejb/session"
            entityTemplates="templates/ejb/entity"
            messageTemplates="templates/ejb/message"/>
   </extension>

Supplied Implementation:
WTP org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.ejb.annotations.xdoclet plugin uses this extension point to provide XDoclet templates.
