   Can I use the new Velocity based template system with AS3/Flex in IntelliJ, or is it a Java only feature?
   By the way, it would be very useful when you talk about a feature if you can always disclose if it’s a Java only one, or if other language are concerned. I know it’s a Java centric IDE at core, but we’re quite a few that use IntelliJ for other things…
   Thanks.

     For now the feature works for java but the changes were made in the platform so it’s easy to extend it for all plugins.

     Thanks for your notice.

   Thank you, looks good.
   What about automatically regenerating these methods if class fields change?

     Templates chooser is available over the member’s chooser. If you press ellipsis button, templates configurator would be shown

   Any way to change the equalsHeader.vm?
   I want to have the generator add {} after every if statement

     John, how is your code style configured? If it requires {} for if statements then generated code would contain them. In other words, generated code is automatically reformatted, so it is not expected that you need to change library part of the generators.

   Hi,

   Usually I use JGoodies binding and write data bean/model that extent a Model class (it has PropertyChangeSupport) and need to call following method in each setter:
   firePropertyChange( String propertyName, Object oldValue, Object newValue).

   For example, I define propertyName and coresponding field as: public static final String PROPERTY_DISPLAY_NAME = "displayName";
private String m_DisplayName;

   I don’t know the syntax to write custom getter/setter code template. Want to ask how to make such a code template that will create the setter like following for that property:

   
public void setDisplayName( final String in_NewValue ){

   final String oldValue = m_DisplayName;
   m_DisplayName = in_NewValue;
   firePropertyChange( PROPERTY_DISPLAY_NAME, oldValue, in_NewValue );

   }


   Thanks!

     Hi, Max!

     You need to write velocity template. looks like that you can leave untouched default setter name but instead of part “$field.name = $paramName;” you need to write your code which stores old value to the temp variable:

     {code}
     final String oldValue = $field.name;
     $field.name = in_NewValue;
     firePropertyChange( PROPERTY_$StringUtil.toUpperCase($field.name), oldValue, in_NewValue );
     {code}

   How can I break the equals() method into multiple methods:

   final class Foo {
   private final A a;
   private final B b;

   @Override
   public boolean equals(Object obj) {
   return (this == obj) || ((obj instanceof Foo) && equalsOther((Foo)obj));
   }

   private boolean equalsOther(Foo other) {
   return Objects.equals(a, other.a) &&
   Objects.equals(b, other.b);
   }

   }
