How is the best way to ask about comparison of Code Generator tools?

Question

I've been suspend here twice, so now I would put the maximum effort in opening a really good question. And I would really appreciate for you advice and help. Please, be batient with me..

I've made some initial search. I've found:

• Visual Studio's T4 (Text Template Transformation Toolkit) - Check out Scott Hanselman's article for an introduction
• Codesmyth
• http://www.metadrone.com/
• http://www.mygenerationsoftware.com/portal/default.aspx
• http://plinqo.com/
• Codesmith 2.6 is freeware - http://www.codesmithtools.com/freeware.aspx

I've found that Codesmith is not a mature product as I would like to.

But how should I open the question? How should I set it? The real question is: "which is the most mature code generator tool?"

Ok, I can workaround it. I can explain deeply why Codesmith is not completely a mature software. Would it be sufficient for opening a good quality question?

Answer 1

An outline of what makes a good question is here: What is required for a question to contain "enough information"?

Try reformatting like this.

I need a ________ tool. [fill in the functionality you are looking for]

I need this tool to be able to: [specific requirements]

1. x
2. y
3. z

It needs to be able to run on: [OS is generally mandatory info, plus pertinent hardware/software restrictions or integrations]

1. OS
2. Pertinent Hardware Restriction
3. Pertinent Software Restriction

I have tried/looked at: [if you have ruled out some options already, list them, and why, it helps clarify your question]
