Description

The role name of the many end of a one-to-many association cannot be the (case-insensitively) same as the name of the class at the many end. This is because code is generated to iterate through the elements of the Set corresponding to the association that uses the but with a lowercase first letter as the name of variable for the element in each loop iteration. That name conflicts with the name of the association that is also derived from the classname with a lowercase first letter.

A simple work-around is to always use for the role name the plural form of the noun used as class name. That way they are (almost) always different.

I would like to change the generated loop variable name into something that does not conflict easily, maybe start (or end) it with an underscore.

Yes, and then adding a constraint on role names that they cannot start (or end) with an underscore.

The solution is even simpler: just qualify the field for the association (with the name of the role) with "this.".
