    Description

      The new commands are straight forward, we just create a new artifact (mostly classes in the Java EE addon). add commands are meant to add code to existing code. So all the add}} commands have a targetClass attribute. The targetClass points to the current class, or can point to a different one.

      The algorithm to get the targetClass is very different from command to command (see below). It would be very helpfull to find a generic design pattern that could be applicable to most of the add commands.

      JavaEqualsHashcodeCommand
         @Override
         public void initializeUI(UIBuilder builder) throws Exception
         {
      		(...)
            UISelection<Object> initialSelection = uiContext.getInitialSelection();
            if (initialSelection.get() instanceof JavaResource)
            {
               targetClass.setValue((JavaResource) initialSelection.get());
            }
            targetClass.setValueChoices(projectOperations.getProjectClasses(project));
      
         @Override
         public Result execute(UIExecutionContext context) throws Exception
         {
      		(...)
            if (targetClass.hasMethodSignature("equals", Object.class))
            {
               if (prompt.promptBoolean("Class already has an equals method. Would you like it to be overwritten?"))
