The way I've gotten around this is to modify my velocity templates so
that they perform a string substitution on the attribute's
javaClassName. For example, in your template you probably have
something like this for your attributes (I've modified my templates,
so yours might not look exactly the same as mine below):
public static final ERXKey<$attribute.javaClassName> $
{attribute.uppercaseUnderscoreName} =
new ERXKey<$attribute.javaClassName>("$attribute.name");
You want to augment the part that inserts the $attribute.javaClassName
so that it replaces the '$' with a '.' character (i.e. you want the
source form of the enum's name, not the binary form):
public static final ERXKey<
$attribute.javaClassName.replace("$",".")> $
{attribute.uppercaseUnderscoreName} =
new ERXKey<
$attribute.javaClassName.replace("$",".")>("$attribute.name");
This may not be the most robust solution to the problem, but it has
worked for me so far.
