Have I ever committed auto generated Java? Yes. At one job my predecessor had done significant work in Java and somehow the only the compiled files were left behind. We reverse compiled them and that was my starting point for the project. As you can imaging the generated code was perfectly formated, with a very consistent style, and generic variable names. It wasn't terrible to work with. The language I'm proposing probably couldn't be too different than Java. But one trivial example would be to make all variables final by default unless they were marked "notfinal". This would be different than Java, and thus would be a new language. And it would be trivial to translate back and forth between this language and Java. Nobody could ever tell the difference. Granted all you would really be changing is syntax, which may or may not be worth while.
