Auto Generate code in java based on templates

Question

I have a eclipse plugin and I want to add a capability to generate java code blocks based on simple template or anything simple. Something like generate source for constructors or getters and setters that java editor provides.

I have seen the JET articles : https://eclipse.org/articles/Article-JET2/jet_tutorial2.html but I want something simpler.

Eclipse already some has it built in:

1. Highlight your field
2. Right Click -> Source -> Generate Getters and Setters

Also you can use the wizards to create a basic java class.

1. File -> New -> Class

etc.
