## Detailed Description

This class collects together all of the code documents which form this project, and generates code for them in a given language.

CodeGenerator is the abstract base class for all types of code generators. It provides the interface through which all generators are invoked and provides most of the basic functionality.

If you want to implement a CodeGenerator for some language follow these steps:

Create a class which inherits SimpleCodeGenerator or AdvancedCodeGenerator. This class can have any name, I use names like CppCodeGenerator for the Cpp Generator, JavaCodeGenerator for the Java Generator and so on, but you can use what you want.

The code you generate should be output to getOutputDirectory() of the CodeGenerationPolicy instance and you should respect the OverwritePolicy specified. You should call findFileName(..) to get an appropriate file name, and then you can call openFile() and write the generated content to this file.

A single call to writeCodeToFile() usually entails processing many items (e.g. as classifiers) for which code is generated. This method is called after all code of one call to writeCodeToFile() has been generated. It can be reimplemented by concrete code generators to perform additional cleanups or other actions that can only be performed once all code has been written.

Reimplemented in AdaWriter.
