Do you run your Java code through the C preprocessor?
Sometimes I run Java code through a preprocessor.
For example, I write the file ?Add.java? in the
directory ?de/dclj/ram? as:
$include /java.gpp
$define VERSION slr@2009-08-29T17:35:33+02:00
$define SINCE slr@2007-08-30T01:17:50+02:00
HEADER
/**
REFERENCES */
@de.dclj.ram.meta.quality.Cleaned(2)
DECLARE(interface)< Domain>
{ public void add( final Domain value ); }
The preprocessor generates from this:

Thus, the preprocessor inserts some boilerplate and
derives the name of the type declared from the file
name.
