Poppy generates Java source files from Ant properties.

Poppy

Generates Java source code from Ant properties. Developed by Jonathan Le.

What does it do?

It converts this:

my.property=My Property

Or this:

<property name="debug" value="true"/>

Into this:

public static final String MY_PROPERTY = "My Property";
public static final boolean DEBUG = true;

Why would I need that?

There are many uses. For example, you might want to conditionally compile some code based on a property set at build time.

if (DEBUG) {
    ...
}

But I'm sure you'll be able to come up with more interesting uses than that.
