lazy - a boilerplate generator
Many of my projects are highly modularized with a fair amount of Gradle sub-modules. Creating such a sub-module often takes time and is quite boring. X diectories for the sources, tests, package structure, a gradle build file here and an entry to settings.gradle there …
Some of my projects are also extensible by the ServiceLoader-Pattern. The ServiceLoader class which ships with Java 6+ needs also some boilerplate to get you started: a file inside _META-INF/services/my.service.interface with a fully qualified classname for your implementation.
To get rid of this boring manual task, lazy was created. It leverages ksh to act as an interactive shell and generate boilerplate on demand.
