I’ve added support for generation of schema-level comments via adding <comment> blocks to the mapping document. This is kinda nice, but I would not have really bothered doing it except that I saw some really nice synergies with other components of the toolset.

 

For example:

 

  • the new DocExporter tool can include comments in the html
  • hbm2java can include the comments in the JavaDoc
  • jdbc binder can pull the comments from the DatabaseMetadata, producing nicely-documented mapping files
  • the eclipse visualization plugin can display comments as tooltips
