In this Wolves, Goats and Cabbages in Java question, Java code is presented to solve the problem.

The code requires pre-processing by a third-party tool in order to function.

The third-party tool adds a number of 'template' or 'boilerplate' methods that make the code complete. In Java terms, these are things like getters, setters, toString(), equals(), and hashCode().

Without pre-processing the code, it is:

• full of errors, and will not compile.
• comprehensively broken in 'standard' IDE's like Eclipse, IntelliJ, Netbeans, etc.

In order to pre-precess the code, you need to download the pre-processor, as well as plugins for the various IDEs so that they are modified to accomodate these pre-processor annotions.

These downloads are from a non-official site, and are not part of any standard tool-chain.

##Question:

Is it working code, or is it off-topic?
