Well, yes, actually. Though we made our lives more complicated by aiming for
hard realtime timing guarantees when running the generated code.
The code is available from launchpad:

Some documentation here:
http://www.robot.lth.se/java/
And a thesis written on the subject:
https://lup.lub.lu.se/search/publication/25432
For some reason I couldn't find the thesis on the web right now, but I'll email
a copy if you're interested?
