Funny you mention that, I was thinking of writing an OJBDoclet that would
generate the repository.xml file from the comments in the source files!  I
would prefer the OJBDoclet to be independent of MiddleGen, or at least
support both MiddleGen & non-MiddleGen usages.

This is a major problem!  I'm new to O/R mapping so I'm not sure what to do
about this.  I think if the schema is totally different it could be easier
to create a new schema and migrate the old data (if needed).  If the schema
is very similar, perhaps it can be tweaked by hand?

I've ordered a demo of Apple's WebObjects which includes EOF (their O/R
mapper).  I'm quite anxious to see how it works.  It's supposed to have
really good GUI's for doing the O/R mapping.
