I think the byte code generation is code generation on another level - not really the level, the thread is about, I would say. Code generation on the higher level (I mean code generated in the project where you are editing the source files also) is a positive thing only, if done in a limited way, such as: - generating of event handler method header lines - single methods generating the GUI pieces you don't touch later manually. But as soon as simplicity fades away and you need to hack and manipulate generated code, it becomes crappy. -- Martin Wildam -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
