This is great Steve. Can I take at least a sneak-peek into the tool?

Do you have a tool to convert from orm.xml to annotations? The reason I ask
is that we are pretty far along in the development of a hbm.xml -> orm.xml
tool, with the caveat that the orm.xml is an "extended" form of the JPA orm.xml
weaving in Hibernate-specifics. So it would depend on whether any hbm-specific
features are used (property-ref being the biggest problem).
That tool with be completed as part of 7.0, but like I said it is already
pretty far along.

I remember needing something like that and did it by having the legacy
app create the schema in the RDBMs, then use reverse engineering to
pojos. This was during the "Seam 2 era" so quite some time ago.. not
sure how tools evolved since then.
You'll need some manual tuning during both steps of course, but since
I could tune & extend both the naming strategies (via code extensions)
and the template files we got a quite complex application (600+
entities) converted in a couple of days. AFAIR my best learner lesson
was to be ready to repeat it all (script it) multiple times, to prefer
tune the templates and naming strategies iteratively over fixing
things by hand.
