Well I guess, I will eventually whip up such a plugin myself, cause I really
need to cleanup quite a code-generation mess.
Eventually based upon the GraniteDS libs, as does the Flexmojos plugin.

The following is not going to really help you, but I just wanted to point out
that a plugin was recently initiated at mojo (still in the sandbox) dedicated
to templating (called templating-maven-plugin).
It's currently only supporting Maven sources filtering, but the plan is to
support different templating engines like velocity or mustache for example.

What I am looking for is a generator-plugin that uses a template
engine (such as Velocity) to generate code, and uses as input an
pojo-object
model
representing the details of a Java class that it should generate
code
for.
Now I would like to have (or create, if I have to) a plugin, that
allows me to specify which classes I am addressing using some
include/exclude config.
I could configure different include/exclude groups, each one in one
execution and for each I could provide a set of:
- resourceTemplates
- testResourceTemplates
- sourceStubTemplates
- sourceTemplates
- testSourceStubTemplates
- testSourceTemplates
- ...
So for each matched class, I could generage:
- resources into the target/generated-resources directory using the
resourceTemplates (could be more than one)
- testResources into the target/generates-test-resources directory
using the testResourceTemplates, ...
- source code into target/generated-sources ...
- test source code into target/generated-test-sources ...
One speciality I liked with GraniteDS was the ability to have
auto-generated stub-classes generated in src/main/java ... if a
class allready existed, no code would be generated, but if a class
didn't
exist,
it would be generated. This was great for creating classes that
extend other generated classes and to allow customization. Something
simple as
this:
public class MyClass extends MyClassBase { }
And MyClassBase is generated to target/generated-sources.
With such a plugin I could be able to generate my JPA MetaModel
classes, my DTOs, SQL scripts, ... and wouldn't have to configure
thousands of different generators. People could develop
best-practice templates for general purpose tasks.
Hope this clarified, what I was looking for.

this, because I think it would make my life a lot easier.

A code generator needs input. Hence some generic formal language
is
used
to specify the input to the genric code generator? UML?
Visualization of
a
generic language could mean - speak UML, UML is a reality today. UML
modells can says much more then 1000 words? Hence I opt for better
integration of modelling tools with maven. Also roundtrip
engineering is
a
must. Enterprise Architect (EA) is able to generate code from UML
and
other
diagrams for many target compiler and it helps you to have code,
modell
and
documentation in sync. And EA can be feed with code and generates
your diagramms. A task which only ends when the modells become to complex.
Maven
is much about geting and nailing dependent components together. If
maven finds the dependecies, a tool like EA could use input to draw
i.e. the component diagram, maybe a maven plugin can pave the way
for EA. Other whise, in my mind, there are far too many tools around

Re: Is there any generic Maven code generator?
First, the way to plug extra functionnality into Maven is to write a Maven plugin so I don't think you can find a Maven plugin to be generic enough to perform any kind of task. For you purpose, you can try a Java annotation processor which are supported by the Maven compiler plugin or a combination of the Maven exec plugin (to launch your own generator) and the Maven build helper plugin (to let Maven know that new files have been generated) Regards Jeff On Wed, Feb 27, 2013 at 12:30 PM, christofer.d...@c-ware.de christofer.d...@c-ware.de wrote: I just posted this to Stackoverflow, but after posting I realized, that I should have come here first :-( I am currently working on a project, that makes intense usage of code generation for various purposes.
