reverseengineeringstrategy gen-property constructor

Hi,

i'm using a ReverseEngineeringStrategy (over a delegate as mentioned in the docs) and trying to disable some of the properties with the following code-construct in my ReverseEngineeringStrategy:

Code:

public Map<String, MetaAttribute> columnToMetaAttributes(TableIdentifier identifier, String column) {

    Map<String, MetaAttribute> metaMap = new HashMap<String, MetaAttribute>();
    String propertyName = super.columnToPropertyName(identifier, column);

    /*
     * Ignore all properties which starts with 'S'.
     */
    if(propertyName != null && propertyName.startsWith("S")) {
        MetaAttribute metaAtt = new MetaAttribute("gen-property");
        metaAtt.addValue("false");
        metaMap.put("gen-property", metaAtt);
    } else {
        metaAtt = super.columnToMetaAttributes(identifier, column);
    }
    return metaAtt;
}

This code works fine and ignores all the properties as membervariables. But now i recognized that theese properties are still in the 'all-properties' constructor:

example:

Code:

class Person {
    private String name;
    private String surname;
    //my ignored variable --> text/member isn't visible in the generated pojo
    //private String stime;

    //no-argument-constructor
    public Person() {}

    //all-properties-constructor
    public Person(String name, String surname, String stime) {
        this.name = name;
        this.surname = surname;
        this.stime = stime;     //Compiler-Error
    }
}

Until now i haven't find anything helpful. Is there a possibility to fix this problem?

Thanks in advance
Alex

Its a bug... I have already reported that in JIRA. The gen-property, though eliminates the member variable, It appears in the constructor and gives a compiler error. The issue has not been fixed yet.
