If you are into code generation, another project of interest is Java Poet https://github.com/square/javapoet I've used it to do a mass refactoring of an annotation-based library. Worked pretty great.

Looking at your examples, this looks like https://github.com/square/javapoet

> can you show an example of how you'd parse, say, a .java.in The canonical way to do such a thing is through the java annotation processing api [1] and using a tool like java poet [2]. Before you did that, you'd probably decide if you wanted to instead use bytecode generation with a library like bytebuddy [3] But, assuming for some reason, you wanted to torture yourself and actually consume a java.in file and apply a regex, then you'd probably pull out the "maven-replacer-plugin" [4] and configure that for the task at hand. (or use your favorite templating language plugin. There's a million of them). Though, to be fair, this really isn't something that comes up in regular java programming due to the nature of the ecosystem. Anything you'd want to codegen likely already has a library and anything you didn't would receive (legitimate) p

JavaPoet is a relatively nice library for generating Java sources: https://github.com/square/javapoet
