    Description

      Splitting FORGE-1667 so it's easier to implement step by step
      See : NewAnnotationCommand and NewAnnotationCommandTest

      This allows to add extra features to the constraint-new-annotation command.

      Adding resource bundle message

      At the moment, the command create a constraint annotation with no implementation, and a default error message. It would be good to add a resource bundle key for the message :

      constraint-new-annotation --named URL
      
      @Documented
      @Constraint(validatedBy = {})
      @Target( { METHOD, FIELD, ANNOTATION_TYPE, CONSTRUCTOR, PARAMETER })
      @Retention(RUNTIME)
      @ReportAsSingleViolation
      public @interface URL {
      	String message() default "{org.mycompany.myproject.constraints.URL.message}";
      
      	Class<?>[] groups() default { };
      
      	Class<? extends Payload>[] payload() default { };
      
      	@Target( { METHOD, FIELD, ANNOTATION_TYPE, CONSTRUCTOR, PARAMETER })
      	@Retention(RUNTIME)
      	@Documented
      	public @interface List {
      		URL[] value();
      	}
      }
      

      Then, it creates a message entry in the ValidationMessages.properties file (the file is created under resources directory if it doesn't already exist)

      org.mycompany.myproject.constraints.URL.message=invalid URL
      

      We could have attributes to the command to change the target

      constraint-new-annotation --named URL --targets METHOD FIELD
      

      This will generate the following code only with @Target METHOD, FIELD

      @Documented
      @Constraint(validatedBy = {})
      @Target( { METHOD, FIELD })
      @Retention(RUNTIME)
      @ReportAsSingleViolation
      public @interface URL {
      	String message() default "{org.mycompany.myproject.constraints.URL.message}";
      
      	Class<?>[] groups() default { };
      
      	Class<? extends Payload>[] payload() default { };
      
      	@Target( { METHOD, FIELD })
      	@Retention(RUNTIME)
      	@Documented
      	public @interface List {
      		URL[] value();
      	}
      }
      

      Constraint with an implementation

      The constraint-new-annotation can have a validatedBy and a type attribute, it will then create a constraint annotation, an error message, and a default implementation :

      constraint-new-annotation --named URL --validatedBy URLValidator --type String
      

      The constraint will now refer to the implementation class URLValidator.class :

      @Documented
      @Constraint(validatedBy = URLValidator.class)
      @Target( { METHOD, FIELD, ANNOTATION_TYPE, CONSTRUCTOR, PARAMETER })
      @Retention(RUNTIME)
      @ReportAsSingleViolation
      public @interface URL {
      	String message() default "{org.mycompany.myproject.constraints.URL.message}";
      
      	Class<?>[] groups() default { };
      
      	Class<? extends Payload>[] payload() default { };
      
      	@Target( { METHOD, FIELD, ANNOTATION_TYPE, CONSTRUCTOR, PARAMETER })
      	@Retention(RUNTIME)
      	@Documented
      	public @interface List {
      		URL[] value();
      	}
      }
      

      And the default implementation will look like :

      public class URLValidator implements ConstraintValidator<URL, String> {
      
        @Override
        public void initialize(URL url) {
        }
      
        @Override
        public boolean isValid(String value, ConstraintValidatorContext context) {
          return false;
        }
      }
