we are doing something very similar in my research group. We have a
lightweight ADL (https://diaspec.bordeaux.inria.fr/) from which we
generate a dedicated framework in Java.

Source-code is available in
https://gforge.inria.fr/plugins/scmsvn/viewcvs.php/diagen/branches/v2/?root=diagen
(see projects DiaSpec-Parser and DiaSpec-Generator).

Basically, we have a grammar file DiaSpec.g which generates an AST
with specific node classes (Program, Device, TypeRef...). Then,
DiaSpec_SEM_1.g verifies different things on the AST, this is the
semantic pass. Finally, I use a visitor on the AST and StringTemplate
to generate java files (in DiaSpec-Generator).
