However, I was unsure > how to write the XML mappings and SQL schema for my application. > > So, I've searched the net and I've found a project called > "Castor Doclet": > http://sourceforge.net/projects/castordoclet/ > http://castordoclet.sourceforge.net/ > > This project is dead simple. I've just needed to add several custom > javadoc tags to my classes, export Eclipse 3.1 project to the Ant's > build.xml file, modify it a bit by adding two tasks in build-user.xml, > add the needed JAR's to the path, run ant and voila! > > This way I got both mapping.xml and create.sql files (the latter for > hsqldb database I use). And everytime I change something in my project, > I can almost instantly generate new versions of XML mapping and SQL > script. This way my productivity is enhanced by a big margin. Even though > it's not perfect and probably not very well suited for the serious > development, this provides me at least a good starting point. > > The only problem is that the original "Castor Doclet" project seems > unmaintained ATM. In fact, last code contributions were done over 2 years > ago. However, this project has patches, feature requests, and the like. > But there's no one to answer. > > Now I wonder if it would be feasible for Castor team to participate in > or even take over this project (it's released under LGPL). IMHO this > would be a big benefit for Castor users - to specify Castor-related > information directly in the source code of their Java classes, in quite > lightweight way at the same time. > > One day, such tools will have to exist to take opportunity of the Java 5 > annotations, so such Castor-related information wouldn't have to be put > as plain javadoc tags.
