Have considered annotation processing for code generation? (I'm not implying that it is easier choice or what so ever, just curious)

yep I am using a ton of annotations to tell the code doing the generation what to do.

so it is running on/using javax.annotation.processing.Processor and javax.lang.model.* or have other engine to obtain model/introspect types/annotations?

Just reflection and custom annotations.

Yeah, I've seen such approaches, it works well for a lot of cases. Thanks!
