Just an idea...

I recently started playing with Middlegen (available on SourceForge). Its
latest cvs version has a very well designed plugin architecture. It also
comes with a GUI for visual mapping of your plugin constructs (like JDO
classes) to tables and relationships. It was originally written to generate
the tons of code required to make entity beans work, but it took me exactly
2 days to write a plugin that generates most of the elements of the
repository.xml. Currently Middlegen's mechanism  is one-way: it just
generates java code/xml.

Now here is the idea... Why not co-oporate with the Middlegen guys to
implement the future version of the OJB mapping tool? I know the OJB guys
have probably already written the code for ReverseDB, so maybe its a bad
idea. (I have not been able to assess ReverseDB, since I can't seem to get
it working on MySQL.) But I also do believe that this could be a mutually
beneficial relationship.

Would love to hear your ideas on this.
