Having java code create new java classes.

[OrangeJuicey]

hi,

I've got about 10 classes each with 50 methods inside them, I need to create a seperate class for each method inside each class.

The first thing i need to do is get all the methods using reflection so i have an array of methods for each class. I then want to loop through this array and for every method have the code create a new class with the name method.getName(); and then place the code from that method into that class automatically. Any ideas on how to do this?

(I've got some ideas but i just thought i'd see what everyone thought)

thanks

One of the ways I've seen it done, not saying that it's def the best way out there, is to have the original java code produce xml which once run through an xslt style sheet produces the code.

I think i'm gonna give up trying to do this and just do it long handed, got another developer to help me but it's still gonna be effort. Theres too much refactoring requried for each method that needs to go to a class to be able to automate it.

Just in case you were interested i'm creating a fake rules engine implementation for conversion of java rules to iLog rules engine. By using the fake rules engine its one step closer to the real thing so its much easier to convert the rules this way.

Thanks for the reply
