DotJava

DotJava is an in-code source code generator for Java. We use DotJava to generate java source code at runtime. This could be for many reasons, but I created it to generate the boilerplate code I don't want to write everytime I create a new project.

Usage

public class ClassBuilder {
  void buildClass() {
    JavaProject project = new JavaProject("MyProject", "me.savag3.dotjava.test");
    project.createClass("MyClass")
            .addMethod()
              .addModifier(AccessModifier.PUBLIC, NonAccessModifier.STATIC)
              .name("printHelloWorld")
              .returnType(Primitive.VOID)
              .addParameter("printTimes", Primitive.INT)
              .build()
            .addField()
              .addModifier(AccessModifier.PRIVATE)
              .name("myField")
              .type(Primitive.STRING)
              .defaultValue("Hello World!")
              .build();

    project.write();
  }
}

DotJava will generate the following source code:

package me.savag3.dotjava.test;

class MyClass {
    
    private String myField = "Hello World!";
    
    public static void printHelloWorld(int printTimes) {
        
    }
}

Generated classes may have unexpected formatting and may not compile.

Missing features / Coming Soon

• Indentation engine for generated code
• Support for Java 16 record classes
• Complex annotations
• Constructor creators for classes and abstract classes
• Support for Java 16 sealed classes
• Method instruction support
• Project file pre-creation (Like .idea folder for IntelliJ)
• Generator code validation
  • Access modifier validation
  • Duplicate annotation validation
  • Duplicate method validation
  • Duplicate field validation
  • Duplicate class validation
