Thanks for this, looks cool. Support for *lots* of dbs too. A little pricier
than DDS, but not much.

Is JDeveloper really free, as in, not demo-ware or cripple-ware, but free
for commercial use? Is it appropriate for general purpose system modeling,
not making use of its Oracle-db-and-ADF-specific java generation?

I'd think that if that's true, it'd be cool, not having tried it. I wouldn't
expect any low-cost alternatives to match an Oracle product for features or
stability. Or am I just buying the hype?
