jOOQ disable DAO and POJO generation

Question

My project requires me to generate DAOs and POJOs on my own. Have to do certain modifications to it. My SRS says that I have to use jOOQ. I am using it for the first time; I understand that jOOQ generates POJOs and DAOs on its own, but I couldn't find a way to disable it.

I could't find anything in jOOQ's documentation that would help me with this. Could someone tell me how to disable jOOQ from generation DAO and POJO but still provide the Records.

And the build is using gradle . I dont know how will that affect the changes either.

Answer 1

the project is built using gradle . so config for all dependencies are redirected to build.gradle . the extract from the build file that helped me mutate jooq properties are:

    jooq 
    { 
      generator 
        { generate 
           { relations = true 
             deprecated = false 
             records = true 
             immutablePojos = false 
             daos = false 
             fluentSetters = true 
       } 
      target { packageName = '...' } 

that file isnt accessible from the project directory but i could edit it here!!
