From a quick look, it has a somewhat similar background than FMPP had, that is, processing a whole directory of files (or just a file if that's what needed) without writing specialized Java code, and loading data from different type of sources, and "transformations". In that regard, https://github.com/apache/freemarker-generator is also similar, though it's very very simple, and there the main idea was to have some "official" Maven plugin for basic code/config generation, but the intent is that we generalize it, so that it can be called from Gradle, and command-line as well, and so that it can load from other data formats than JSON as well. Surely there's a few other similar project out there too. Obviously we shouldn't have multiple similar projects under the freemarker.apache.org umbrella, so I wonder if anything can be done about with these parallel efforts. Like in your concrete case, if you see any hope for that, merging these efforts.
But, if nothing else, certainly you can get a link from freemarker.apache.org. (I will try freemarker-cli when I find the time.)
