The Java Core Code Generator
Note: This code only generates the R5 java code. Older generated models are now maintained by hand.
To run this code, run the class JavaCoreGenerator with 3 parameters:
- 1: fhir version to generate from (e.g. 4.1.0 or 'current'
- 2: project directory to read configuration and templates from - e.g. C:\work\org.hl7.fhir\org.hl7.fhir.core\org.hl7.fhir.core.generator\configuration
- 3: project directory to generate code into - e.g. C:\work\org.hl7.fhir\org.hl7.fhir.core\org.hl7.fhir.r5.new
The generation process depends on the code it generates - do not regenerate the master R5 code until you have tested that it generates correctly.
To test the generation:
- create a new project, copy the existing R5 code into it, and get it compiling
- make sure that project is not in the build path for the generator itself, which depends on the production R5 code
- run the generation
- refresh etc and make sure that the compiler is happy
- copy the JUnit tests RoundTripTests into the copy project, update the constants, and execute it
- check all the tests pass, and inspect a sampling of the results for consistency
Configuring the Generation Output
The most common reason to alter the generation is to add additional utility routines/enhanceements to the generated classes. To do this, edit on the one of the templates in the configuration directory - xx.java, where xx is the class name (may include containing class). You may also need to add to the imports in the configuration.ini file.
