Java Code Generation (Metaprogramming, Reflection, wtv)

Does anyone knows a tool for Java (something like codedom for C#) that provides a way to generate Java code to a .java file?

EDIT: I'm building a platform the main objective of which is to automate an operation. Giving some input, I want to generate code for an external tool. So it isn't generation on runtime. I want to generate and output that to an actual file.

Solution

  • JET maybe outdated (I didn't use it) JET Tutorial Part 1

    More Plugins for Eclipse Plugins in Code Generation

    EDIT: Sorry I don't know codedom and what features this tool implies.

    Standalone is Freemarker and Velocity see also this example
