Hi Terrence, does that approach require extensions to ANTLR or ST? Are you defining the object traversal in a declarative grammar instead of plain procedural code? Can you specify predicates like "only process methods that have a certain Java annotation applied"?
Could you just leak a bit more? :-) When is your book up for grabs?

The basic idea is that you iterate over the list of methods in a class or whatever and build up the output (using templates optimally).
