Description:

Adds a new action 'toString()' in the generate menu (alt + ins). The action generates a toString() method that dumps the classes fields. Java body code is generated using Velocity Macro and you can change this to fit your needs. The plugin has it's own settings (ctrl + alt + s). Full documentation included (Click hyperlink from Settings).

Thank you very much! It was not easy to find settings =)

I was confused by the fact that Copyright settings are presented in the Setting dialog box.

The plugin is now bundled with IDEA and Jetbrains have taken over the maintenance of the plugin.

The settings have moved, eg press CTRL + INS and select toString() then a dialog shows the members to choose and there should be a Settings button on this popup window.

Nice plugin but I have one problem with it. I have updated it and enabled from plugins menu in IDEA 8. Now I see generate toString menu when I press Alt+Ins but there is no plugin configuration dialog in settings. Anyone has the same problem?

When the plugin starts up it tries to locate itself and extract the documentation that is included in the .jar.

It seems as it has trouble reading the .jar from this location:
C:\Documents and Settings\019gus\.IntelliJIdea70\config\plugins\GenerateToString.jar

The path is returned by IDEA itself, the path is not computed by the plugin.

However its just a WARNING and the plugin should work fine. Only the link in the settings to the plugin documentation will fail.

You should be fine to use all its features to generate the toString() methods.

I would love to see a version of this plugin for generating hashCode() and equals() based on a template. Thanks!

Easy to see why its the #2 downloaded plug-in: 1) Well written; 2) provides necessary functionality that is surprisingly missing from IDEA; 3) easy to configure with great default templates 4) *Amazing* documentation that should be the standard that all other plug-ins should aim for.

I wholeheartedly agree with other reviewers that this plug-in should be included with the standard IDEA distribution. My sincere thanks to Claus for having written this plug-in.

Essential plugin. Should just be in IntelliJ itself, but not sure it could be done any better than this plugin does it. Very configurable with Velocity if you don't like the way it generates the code (although it offers several pre-built Velocity templates)

About the super.toString().

There is a default template you can select to use that does this.

The key is the velocity template that you can adjust to your needs. See the screenshots for details.

To select a different template you have to change it from the settings menu.

It would be great if there were an option to call super.toString() as part of the invocation. (Many important fields can live in the super class.)
