--------------------------------------------------------------

Cayenne modeler is a great tool, but large models (or even not so large) are 
best modeled with tools like Visual Paradigm. I use VP for other purposes also, 
but primarily for designing the model and creating the schema/database.

Like Robert said, reverse engineering the database is a repeating task, 
especially in the earlier stages of the design. Having a maven plugin to 
generate mapping file without entering another application is a simple time 
optimization for my/our dev process.

> This plugin would reverse engineer the given database and create a mapping
