Fast Code

Fast Code is a highly useful Eclipse plugin that can help developers code faster in spring-based applications, as well as many other kinds of applications. Typically, multi-tiered applications have a lot of similar code, leading to time-consuming typing that can also be error-prone and lead to carpal tunnel.

Thankfully, Fast Code was made to help with this exact issue. It generates boilerplate code classes, configuration files, and junit tests within seconds so that your time is well-spent on other tasks. With Fast Code, you no longer need to spend long hours typing FooAction, FooService or FooDAO for every domain object Foo in a struts application with spring hibernate backend, as it takes care of all of this for you.

This Eclipse plugin generates spring configuration files for FooService and FooAction, struts config files, as well as application resource files for any number of locales, dozer mapping files, validation files, bare bone jsp, and much more. The configuration of this plugin is highly adjustable and flexible, where developing any other type of files is as easy as modifying a master configuration file utilized by the plugin.

Additionally, this plugin offers easy navigation between various types of files and enables creating a working set containing these similar classes only. Simply put, Fast Code is a must-have tool for developers looking for a time-efficient way of coding.
