I understand your concerns. Unfortunately, properties-based code generator
configuration is quite hard to maintain (think of forced types, etc.) and
was thus removed with jOOQ 3.0 ("ant task"):
http://www.jooq.org/doc/3.1/manual/reference/migrating-to-3.0/#N13700
You can, of course, provide the code generator with programmatic
configuration. At code gen build time, the XSD (
http://www.jooq.org/xsd/jooq-codegen-3.0.0.xsd) is used by an XJC task to
produce JAXB-annotated artefacts. In other words, you can unmarshal the XML
yourself, using JAXB, and then patch relevant parts programmatically,
passing the org.jooq.util.jaxb.Configuration object to
the org.jooq.util.GenerationTool.main(Configuration) method.

I am aware of the lack of documentation in this section. I guess your hint
is the "last straw", to make me add some sections right now :-)
Improvements to the XML configuration in this area are on the roadmap:
https://github.com/jOOQ/jOOQ/issues/1171
Contributions towards such requirements would be welcome, of course.
