project.packagePrefix	you can choose a package name which will be included in the Java-package path	${projecthome}/${project.targetPath}/${project.title}/persistence/src/main/java/de/${project.packagePrefix?lower_case}/${project.title?lower_case}/entity/

	//domain attributes
	<#list (domain.getAttributes()) as attribute>
		<#if attribute.pattern?? && attribute.pattern?length &gt; 0 && attribute.dataType == "String">
