An IntelliJ IDEA plugin that adds the option to generate a copy constructor to the "Generate" menu (alt + insert), as suggested in IDEABKL-5546.
Roughly based on the comparisonChainGen example plugin.
It comes with experimental intentions that warn if a copy constructor may be buggy, such as when:
- The copy constructor does not copy all fields from one object to the other
- A field assignment in the copy constructor looks bogus (
this.x = copy.y;orthis.x = constant;) - The copy constructor in a subclass does not invoke the copy constructor in the superclass
