generate toString() in mooseEntities

[NicolasAnquetil]

it really helps in Eclipse debugger as clicking on the entity would give its name.
For example for method I manually created:

@Override
public String toString() {
  return ((parentType != null) ? ((NamedEntity)parentType).getName() + "." : "") + name;
}

So the debugger can tell me PrintStream.println instead of org.moosetechnology.model.famixjava.famixjavaentities.Class@15f77a8b

If we want to generate the toString, maybe this issue should be moved to FameJava (that is is charge of generating the code)

[badetitou]

The only question is, how can you define toString if there is no "name" ?

( The logic of parents entity can be used )!

1st solution: Don't

But it is not that easy anyway, because Fame does not know about "name"
So it will have to be some kind of hack ...

[badetitou]

Maybe add a toString method to every metadescription that use the FamixTNamed trait ( should be easy to know by using the new game meta meta model with trait concept )

Still it is a hack. But if it offers great value, why not?
