We have just started using the ojb xdoclet tags (available from CVS) 
to autogenerate (via ant) our repository.xml and generate sql for creating the 
database tables. So far we have found it quite useful is preventing the types of bug 
you describe.
 
The only (very minor) grip we have is that they are not yet part of the xdoclet 
distribution, so we need to maintain differnet xdoclet jars for different parts of our 
build cycle.

        I currently handcode my repository_user.xml file, and am having
        enormous difficulties. I find it is incredibly easy to make typos
        and many of these typos are incredibly difficult to find.
        There has got to be a better way. What are you guys using
        for this purpose? Are there any good tools out there for
        writing xml files? And does anybody have a good method
        for making sure that the repository_user names, Java field names,
        and database field names all match up.
        
        I have spent all day on these sorts of bugs, with several
        fairly large tables. I am ripping my hair out!'
