What type of code does your build framework generate?

Java code.  This isn't yet in the main trunk of centipede.  It needs to 
be further genericised.  Granted I wouldn't generate ALL java code from 
XML but in these particular cases it makes sense.  We even generate a 
junit test.. .  Like I said, beats the heck out of typing.

The generation stuff is a bit immature but it beats the hell out of 
typing any day.  For more information on this whole subject:
