   From README...

   This is lowest priority since java to metadata is lossy therefore going the other direction will require a small amount of "magic" to compute that missing information. For this reason I think it's better to simply use Java classes as the starting point / source of truth since they're much easier to write, usable in other code, and retain more information.

   Another reason I found not to go this direction is correctness: it is much more difficult to have bugs in your metadata when your source of truth is strongly typed and statically analyzable.
