|
Only fields which are non-transient and not inherited.

|
Select all fields and methods.
|
n/a
|
Deselect All

Deselect all fields and methods.

Down
|
Move the element with focus down the list. A member can be moved only within its group. Groups can also be moved.

Insertion point
|
Defines where in the type body the generated methods are inserted. If a method already exists in a class and is overwritten, its position will not be changed (this option will have no effect).
|
Last member or location of the cursor position if invoked from editor
|
Generate method comments
|
Controls whether a comment is added to the created toString() method. Generated comment just points to a javadoc comment for java.lang.Object#toString() .
|
off
|
String format
|
Defines which template is used to format the toString() output. A template determines what information about a class is added, how the fields are separated, and so on. For more information about templates, see

|
Limit number of items in arrays/collections/maps
|
Controls whether the toString() method limits the number of elements printed for arrays, Collection s and Map s, and what the limit is. It doesn't work for arrays if "Ignore arrays' default toString()" option is off. See
toString() generator: listing content for details.
