I'm happy to share CodeMonkey.
CodeMonkey is a programmatic code generation tool. It is not a template based code generator like XDoclet or its ilk, it is entirely programmatic, for instance:
public void testSample() throws Exception
{
Klass wombat = new Klass();
wombat.setName("Wombat");
wombat.setPackage("org.skife.example");
Method belch = new Method();
belch.setFinal(true);
belch.setName("belch");
belch.addParameter(new Parameter("int", "volume"));
belch.setBody("System.out.print(\"BURP at level \" + volume);");
wombat.addMethod(belch);
BeanTool.addProperty(wombat, String.class, "name");
BeanTool.addProperty(wombat, "int", "age");
wombat.addInterface(Serializable.class);
Generator generator = new Generator();
String source = generator.generate(wombat);
System.out.println(source);
}
Will generate the output:
package org.skife.example;
public class Wombat implements java.io.Serializable
{
private java.lang.String name0;
private int age1;
public void belch(int volume)
{
System.out.print("BURP at level " + volume);
}
public final void setName(java.lang.String name)
{
name0 = name;
}
public java.lang.String getName()
{
return name0;
}
public void setAge(int age)
{
age1 = age;
}
public int getAge()
{
return age1;
}
}
The library just has low level constructs right now (java language features), but more is sure to come, as I built it to solve other problems ;-)
CodeMonkey is *not* a replacement for XDoclet, Middlegen, etc. It *is* a useful tool for building semi-dynamic code (ie, from JDBC metadata or whatnot) at compile time.
Have fun!
