Create a class which either

(1) Links all transfer object classes via
public static const var user:User;

or

(2) Uses registerClassAlias to achieve the same
registerClassAlias("com.foo.User", com.foo.User);

Inspect the list of dependencies and determine if classes are missing before generation even begins.

Right now we assume classes are in a folder like "target/classes"; need a way for JAR dependencies to be specified and class files detected in them

Match by superclass, interface or annotation

A lot of logic is being duplicated in the Mojos and Tasks that probably could live in Configuration. This is mostly around config class loading and type matcher config

Would be useful to be able to specify package names for type matching. Should support multiple, might need wildcard support...

Most of this should already be there but is probably missing the logic in TransferObjectMapper.

Add support for writing [ArrayElementType] metadata

Need a config property for each of these

Sometimes Java transfer objects implement interfaces. It may or may not be desirable to generate these interfaces.

Here is an example of what we're calling "property wrapping"

http://flexblog.faratasystems.com/2008/02/05/flex-local-datestime-transfer-issue

In this case, the code is fairly custom. But we should be able to support some arbitrary conversion of types where convenient

transient Date get/set, serialized as String (to support better TZ handling)
transient Number get/set/, serialized as Object (to support nullability)

Try to simplify this API or at least rename to something more reasonable

Sometimes Java classes are in the form of "User" but the Flex dev want "UserDto." This could be handled via a simple "prefix" and "suffix" config attributess but for max control we might want something like:

public interface NameCustomizer {

    public String customize(String qualifiedName);

}
