Javapoet. This helped me a lot, because i wrote two generators, one for one employer, who don't like dynamic generators, so the first was to generate mappers like mapstruct does; from model to pojos and viceversa. The second one was a static testing pojo factory generator; this last one i made public (it's pretty basic and now we have projects like instancio and podam) its name is mother-factory.

> 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) push back.

I’ve used a maven archetype before with velocitemplate. That solution was iffy so we then migrated to using https://github.com/square/javapoet to generate the java source and write it to the desired files. I think we also used the google formatter library so the files would be formatted after generating.

appsmith — Low code project to build admin panels, internal tools, and dashboards. Integrates with 15+ databases and any API.

For instance, although we don't have a native signature capture widget (yet), you can easily build one with just a few lines of JavaScript, and the signaturePad.js library.

Effective communication and efficient meeting management are key to a team's success in the modern workplace. Recognizing this, we will develop an AI-powered meeting assistant app to transform Google Meet recordings into automatically generated meeting notes with key takeaways and action items. The blog post is tailored for every creator from developers to no-coders who are interested in the intersection of AI and productivity tools. It's particularly useful for those with limited AI-development experience and who want to build AI applications by using simple low-code tools like Unbody and Appsmith.

And if you don't need a mobile app and can get by with web only, check out Appsmith. It's open-source, can connect to Google Sheets, Airtable, and any API or database, and is free for unlimited users and apps. Feel free to DM me if you need a hand getting started with either one. I'm Joseph from the Appsmith Developer Relations team, and GreenFlux on the AppSheet forums.

Appsmith- Build build custom software on top of your data.

This wasn't an easy journey. While this functionality was in high demand, early versions were frustrating to use. In our earliest implementations, it wasn't even possible to pinpoint where the conflicts were in a file. Even members of the Appsmith development team would avoid using our early Git implementations. We even had a rule for our internal “Hackathons” that using the Git feature was banned because it kept breaking! So we know why other app platforms had avoided fully implementing Git: it really was a challenge to get it working right.

Ever tried building a responsive web application using AppSmith as the frontend and Baserow as the backend? Well, Frederik Duchi created a new set of videos showcasing the entire process! The videos include an interesting use case: reporting a nest of Asian hornets in an area. 🤯
