Custom Snippet support in Java editor

What do you think about some way of autoproxing of implementation methods in entities, additionally to snippets? Wouldn’t it simplify snippet writing, because basic Netbeans capabilities to write code could be used in this case?

Example

Assuming there is entity ‘SomeEntity’, and package contains hand-written (possible package protected) ‘SomeEntityImpl’ class with static implemetation methods.

class SomeEntityImpl {
    public static void oneMethod(SomeEntity someEntity);
    public static boolean secondMethod(SomeEntity someEntity, boolean param);
}

leads to code proxy generation in SomeEntity class:

public class SomeEntity {
    ....
    public void oneMethod() {
        SomeEntityImpl.oneMethod(this);
    }
    
    public boolean secondMethod(boolean param) {
        return SomeEntityImpl.secondMethod(this, param);
    }    
}

Another option is to use some annotation or comment block like

/* BEGIN HAND-WRITTEN-CODE / {there is code which is not overwritten from jeddict. E.g. jeddict copies this code and writes back. But what to do with imports on top of file, they will be lost, if Jedict not copies them} / END HAND-WRITTEN-CODE */
