Plugins needed to generate deployable Enterprise Service Tools artifacts

We are using the Enterprise Service Tools perspective from within IDz.

We need a command line utility( java/batch) or preferably a Gradle plugin from IBM which can be used to generate the deployable artifacts on non Z/OS build system, preferably Linux.
For example:-
A java/batch/Gradle plugin which can generate .wsbind file , copybook artifacts from an input/source JSON schema files and properties file.

    Thank you for taking the time to suggest an enhancement to our product. Many of our product enhancements result from feedback from our customers, so your input is always very important to us. This request for enhancement is not currently aligned with our product strategy and vision and for this reason, we will not be implementing it. Again, thank you for your suggestion and continued support.

    The Class Factory is a supported Java API to generate the artifacts you mention. Would writing a program to use the api fulfill the requirement ?
