you could customize the templates, should be straightforward that way any new entities will also have those fields assuming you're using hibernate as persistence framework you would simply update the mapping files and the Entity.java templates on the other hand, I don't know what tool you're using for modeling, but in MagicDraw you can simply 'copy' the attributes and 'paste' them into another entity, it will copy everything: name, type, documentation, ... 10 seconds per entity (which is plenty) = 500 seconds per 50 entities = 6 minutes, not that bad -- Wouter ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: NEC IT Guy Games.
