The visual modelling framework or VMF, for short is a lightweight modeling framework and code generator. VMF uses a data model of an application or a library expressed as annotated Java interfaces to generate powerful implementations. These implementations include all the inevitable but boring boilerplate code required to provide a modern and stable API. The generated model implementation features:
- property getters and setters
- property default values
- object ownership /containment
- builder API
- equals() and hashCode()
- deep and shallow cloning
- change notification
- undo/redo
- object graph traversal API via iterators and streams
- immutable types and read-only wrappers
- delegation
- annotations
- reflection

It is designed to work with the newest versions of Java as soon as they are released. It works well with Java 11-19. In addition there is excellent Gradle support via a dedicated plugin.
