What is a .java.in file?

I have found a repository that contains java code but the files don't have the normal .java suffix, but .java.in

Please what is that?

I have found it in the Kody repository ob Github

These .in files are processed by the GNU autoconf system. The placeholders in the files of the form @APP_NAME_LC@ will be replaced with the values of the variables with the respective name and the result is then written to a normal file without the .in extension.

The use for Java is somewhat uncommon. The autoconf system is common in the *NIX world to cope with differences in system libraries for C and C++ as well as build tools.

As far as I remember it means integration test. I think it is used by the Maven Failsafe Plugin https://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-failsafe-plugin/

This is just a possibility. It may be something else
