[hibernate-dev] generated code in hibernate

[Sanne Grinovero]

Hi Jonathan,
no there is quite some code being generated during the build, my guess
is that you're looking in the committed code?
We don't consider it a good idea to include the generated code in our
source code repository, so you won't find any unless you start the
build.

There are at least two categories of sources being generated:
- the HQL parser code is generated from grammar definitions; we use
ANTLR for this, explicitly invoked during the build process.
- the logger implementations are generated from annotated interfaces,
an annotation processor takes care of these.

Best luck with your work, static analysis is fascinating!

Sanne
