Is the generation of the message objects from the data dictionary now par=
t of the standard=20
QF build? This only applies for QF/J AFAIK.

My general feeling is that the core engine and the FIX version specific c=
ode (which=20
derives from core engine classes) should be put into separate jar files o=
r shared objects.
Together with a script which generates the code for such a package from t=
he XML file this=20
would be using custom messages and fields much easier.
