<h1>Limitations of the Java Code Generation Wizard</h1>
<p>The Java Code Generation Wizard is a very powerfull tool to generate Java source code. Never the
less there are some limitations or some limiting factors that you should take into consideration before
you start investing your time. This is said here so you won't complain afterwards that this tool does not
meet your requirements</p>
<p>If your requirement is not covered out of the box you will have to invest yourself to provide the
missing link. This is only sensible if you can gain something. Statistical data shows that you have to
invest about 4 times the amount of time to create your own adaption as to write the class from scratch
by hand. This shows that the wizard can be used where a distinct architecture exists and many classes
conform to a certain pattern: ie. Beans based on a data-source, Data Access Objects for some data-source,
Model-Transformation (HTML2SWT), ...</p>
