Before Using Code Generation Tools
To use a code generator, make sure to configure the path to the tool. You can do this in the tool dialog or in ReadyAPI preferences.
Caching Definitions
If the current interface documentation file was cached, ReadyAPI will provide an option to use either the cached definition or the online version.
If you use the cached definition, ReadyAPI will first export it to a temporary directory and specify as the definition location.
Custom Arguments For Code Generation
All tool dialogs have the Custom Args tab, where you can specify custom arguments for the tool.
Depending on the tool, there may be options for both Java custom arguments and ReadyAPI custom arguments.
