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: > Tool Support > Generally speaking there are three approaches in building an O/R > mapping: > > 1. Forward engineering , Java classes (or UML model) are given, SQL > DDL and mapping have to be generated. > > We have started to work on a tool that generates a database > from an existing repository.xml file. Call build[.sh] > forward-db to see our forward engineering tool at work. > > After building your db you can inspect it by calling > build[.sh] browse-db . 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...
