This was planned, but I never got to implement it as I did the code generation 
stuff..
my idea was to have two settings, one for general code generation: "include 
files" dir, output dir, overwrite policy, etc, and 
one section for each of the available languages: clean name should 
capilatlizeNames or underscore_them ?
For Java "container" class are really standard, but, for example, for C++, 
what kind of container should be used referencing the parts of a aggregation 
or composition ( std::vector, std::vector, QList<type>, type**, etc?)

We could have a closer look at this for next release. what do you say about 
it?
