Hi Jeff,
About item 1 and 3, I don't think DTP dependencie is a problem, it will
really make the whole idea simpler. At least here (Brazil) this is a common
plugin and is very hard to find a web developer without it.
2, I'm weak in extension points, I know the main concept (IOC) but I don't
know the right way to use it. HMO this is a good option, if the guy don't
have DTP he will be able to continue using the plugin as it is today (but,
today, the plugin just write a template xml - and this could be done by a
simple copy and paste).
I saw a great amount of code to help to edit the the abator xml config
file - today this is the plugin: a xml editor - I'm right?
To write this file (the abator config file) you have to know by heart your
database structure, table and column names and edit the file. This is cool
when you have just a few changes to do, when you have an entire database to
specify this is really boring!!!
4, this is the idea, but the xml will save a lot of rework when we had to
regenerate the classes. The same wizard can be used to change the xml file.
Well, as you can see my english is a kind of criptogram. 8)
Right now I´m trying to get the columns from the database metadata ...

Jeff Butler commented on IBATIS-402:
------------------------------------
I think this is a very interesting idea and I like the general concept.
However, I would implement it a little differently...
1. I don't want to make DTP a pre-requisite for installing the basic
Abator plugin. So I would prefer that this enhancement be packaged as a
seperate plugin.
2. I will need to restructure the current plugin to allow an extension
point - this should be fairly simple to do, so I'll take a look at it.
3. I think it would be good to be able to reuse the Connection that DTP
is using - again, I'll need to make a change to Abator to allow this.
4. I think it would be cool to make a wizard that would generate code
without an XML file. You can configure and run Abator completely in
Java - so I think that it should be optional to persist the configuration
in XML.
What are your thoughts about this?
