How to contribute my code for Java bindings?

Hi,

I would like to improve Java bindings and add missing functions for Java bindings. As far as I can see, Java bindings are generated automatically. I am not familiar with automatically generated bindings, if this is indeed the case. Is there any way to change somehow generated .java files? For instance if I manipulate the generated java files, I can improve the code the way I want. I suppose, others can also benefit from my changes. I would like to submit it, but those files don't even exist in the repository on Github (since they are auto-generated). I suppose the auto-generator script also doesn't work properly. For instance function function Core.abs() doesn't exist in Java bindings. I would like to improve that as well.

"I would like to improve Java bindings and add missing functions for Java" -- that's a nice idea !. please have a look here , to understand the mechanism behind it (it's the same for python and java) , and another here
"For instance if I manipulate the generated java files, I can improve the code " -- this won't work, those will get overwritten again in the next compiler run. IF you want to change something, you need to change the way those generator scripts run, not the (intermediary) output of it.
" For instance function function Core.abs() doesn't exist in Java bindings." -- that's for a reason. e.g. it has an abs() function already in python, also there's convertScaleAbs() doing about the same already.

Thanks a lot. But convertScaleAbs doesn't exactly do the same. It converts to 8-bit results. I would like to have 16 or 32 bit results as well. Therefore, I will try to implement the abs() binding as well. Maybe, there is another way (subtracting from 0-filled matrix and taking max of the result and the original matrix). But they don't seem to be as clean as a straightforward abs() method. Also I have found files such as core+MatOfByte.java utils+Converters.java, which I needed to change and submit. I did the changes and tested the code and submitted it.

As an alternative for some classes, one can modify files named such as core+Mat.java or core+MatOfByte.java. These files will be used to generate the java files in build dir.

^^ those are actually "hand-written" sources, not machine generated ones (and thus they will not be overwritten)

Yes, but I meant other .java files in build dir in my question, which are machine generated. I discovered core+... utils+....java files recently.
