Texen is a general purpose text generating utility. It is
capable of producing almost any sort of text output. Driven
by Ant, essentially an Ant Task, Texen uses a control
template, an optional set of worker templates, and control
context to govern the generated output. Although TexenTask
can be used directly, it is usually subclassed to initialize
your control context before generating any output.
Texen was created to deal with the source generating
requirements of the Turbine web application framework. The
Torque uses a subclass of the TexenTask to generate SQL and
the Object-Relational mapping sources for its O/R layer. This
is only one example; you can use Texen to generate almost any
sort of text output!
