I have done some code generation to support the work I am doing. I have found that using XSLT and XML files is a good way to go. It is very flexible and easily expandable. Also, I plan to eventually map the XML structure to/from Java objects (which is easily done using Digester or Castor or JAXB) and generate an application that allows the user to define the XML files. Ultimately, you end up with an application that builds itself.
