Integrating Code Generation and Refactoring Marcelo d'Amorim 1, Clovis Nogueira

Abstract. Coder is a tool for generation and maintenance of Java programs. It is capable of not only producing class structures but also their implementation. It also allows one to safely modify the new code by applying refactorings. In this way the system evolves with reduced defects, and the productivity of the development team increases since the tool seamlessly supports coding. This position paper describes the Coder architecture, and presents an example of its practical use on projects based on Java technology.
