I'm currently working on an application that has to render several Freemarker templates. So far I have a Generator class that handles the rendering. The class looks more or less like this:

public class Generator {
     public static void generate(…) {
         renderTemplate1();
         renderTemplate2();
         renderTemplate3();
    }
    private static void render(…) {
         // renders the template
    }
    private static void renderTemplate1() {
         // Create config object for the rendering
         // and calls render();
    };
    private static void renderTemplate1() {
         // Create config object for the rendering
         // and calls render();
    };
    …
}

This works, but it doesn't really feel right. What I would like to do is create a class that holds all the renderTemplate...() methods and then call them dynamically from my Generator class. This would make it cleaner and easier to extend. I was thinking about using something like reflection, but it doesn't really feel like a good solution either. Any idea on how to implement this properly ?
