In the file http://db.apache.org/ojb/tutorial1.html, scroll to the
very bottom of the page. Two headings up from the bottom, it says:

The forward-db rule invokes AutoBuildDB.

I think, for me, it's not a huge deal, because the db is built and I
will simply write sql to update it as required. But this probably
should not be in the tutorial.

On a related topic, the wiki comparing all the Java ORM tools
indicates that there's a graphical mapping tool "in progress" for OJB.
Where should I look for such a creature? I missed seeing it...

Thanks,
