Check out EOGenerator at http://www.rubicode.com/Software/EOGenerator/ - this command line utility uses templates to generate both the _User and the User java files, and subsequently will only overwrite the _User.java file if the schema changes, thus leaving your custom code alone. And because it is a command line utility, it's scriptable, so you canmake it a part of your build scripts.


Unless you are diligent about source code repositories, using the method outlined in the article could result in you deleting some valuable business logic. Be careful!

    Great recommendation!

    I've used EOGenerator before and found it quite handy.

    (Thank you for the insight, as I'm still trying to figure out the audience of these articles.)
