My original intent for mako was focused around my uses for it in compiling regexes. For that use case, there's no reason to want to generate Java source code. However, this is a use case that many people have.
Thinking about it, I don't see an obstacle to outputting Java source code from mako. I don't think I'm inclined to implement it now, but I'm creating this issue as pseudo-documentation, because my first thought is that it should be relatively tractable.
