  1. First, make sure you have installed the necessary plugins or tools. For example, you can search and install the MyBatis Generator plugin in Eclipse Marketplace.<\/li>\n
  2. Open Eclipse, right-click on the project where you want to generate the entity class in the Package Explorer, and choose “Properties”.<\/li>\n
  3. Select the “Builders” option in the “Properties” window, then click the “New” button to add a new builder.<\/li>\n
  4. In the “New Builder” window, select the “Java Application” type and name it “Generate Entities”.<\/li>\n
  5. Select the “Main” tab, then enter the main class for generating entity classes, such as “org.mybatis.generator.api.ShellRunner” in the MyBatis Generator plugin.<\/li>\n
  6. Click on the “Arguments” tab, and in the “Program arguments” section, input the parameters for generating entity classes, such as the path to the configuration file and the path to the generator’s configuration file.<\/li>\n
  7. Click on the “Apply and Close” button to save and close the window.<\/li>\n
  8. Finally, right-click on the project in Eclipse, select “Generate Entities” to generate the entity classes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
