I'm afraid there's not much to see. The configuration file is the most interesting thing to look at, here's a link to that page in the documentation:
Abator.Net would be cool! I think the core generation function could come over pretty easily. The issue would be the merge functions where we don't overwrite hand coded additions to the files. For these functions I use JDOM for XML files and Eclipse for Java files. If there's some equivalent functions in the .Net world (to "parse" these files and manipulated them in a symantically correct way), then it would work. My guess is that the XML merge would be pretty simple in .Net, but I have no idea about a C# merge. I'd love to talk about it further...

Any ideas on if Abator can/will generate files for IBatisNet?
Thanks,
