Description

It would be useful to be able to inject user-defined classes / utilities into the templates for generating java classes for the entities in a DataMap. This simplifies complex templating tasks that would otherwise require Ant macros.

For example, I have a set of templates to generate Objective-C classes for my entities, and this benefits from additional utility methods.
