Oh - my - freekin.. And its open source. I used to be really against code generators - and still am for cases where they are better solutions (ie. we use reflective beans copiers rather than generating source to copy each property).
But this looks like a perfect candidate for source generation. One of the problems with using DSLs and extensions in the enterprise space is that management don't want to risk investing in languages which they can't readily hire for or support. But if the generated source is good enough, you could argue that your worst case scenario is to throw about the DSL and maintain the generated legacy. I'm not suggesting this is a good way to go, but the argument might help you use a DSL in a situations you might not normally be allowed. I also think it would be cool to target non-Java languages.
