Java Options

If you intend to generate Java code from your model, you can configure the code generation options using the Java Specifications page of the Options dialog to:

•Set a default directory for opening and saving Java source code
•Indicate a default file extension
•Specify a default 'Get' prefix
•Specify a default 'Set' prefix
•Define additional Collection Classes - to define custom collection classes, which can be simple substitutions (such as CArray<#TYPE#>) or a mix of other strings and substitutions (such as Cmap<CString,LPCTSTR,#TYPE#*,#TYPE#*>); the following collection classes are defined by default:
•HashSet<#TYPE#>;Map<String,#TYPE#>;
