Roberto,
If you're looking to use CastorJDO, generally the sequence of steps
is:
1) Create database schema
2) Create Java classes
3) Create mapping descriptor
These steps could be done in any order. The important thing is that
these three steps must be fulfilled.
If you're looking to use the SourceGenerator, I can't help you
there. Maybe Keith can comment.
