So, how do you suggest doing that when there's a code generator under
active development which generates Java code, and a large portion of
the Java code directly or indirectly works with the output of this
code generator? We model the object domains in a simple modeling

language which is then compiled to C++ and Java code to allow
serializing a description of a unit of work from the Java tools to the
C++ tools and back. Most of the infrastructure and apps work with the
output of this code generator in some form or another.
The generator can be forced to follow good practices, rather than have bad
practices use "the generator" as an excuse.
Unfortunately, one cannot fiat interfaces into being stable.
But one can *design* interfaces to be modular. Try it.
