That is correct: the reversemappingtool only currently supports
generating an orm.xml file. We would like to add support for
generating annotations someday, but it is not there yet.
Take a look at the "reversemapping" example in a recent openjpa
snapshot for an example of running the reversemappingtool from a
build.xml file.

annotations though.
You can always add them based on the generated orm.xml file
although that
might be easier said than done if you have a lot of entities.

Subject: Will reversemappingTask() generate EJB3 annotations?
I apologize if this question has been previously asked and
answered. I
have
googled for an answer with no luck.
I have been requested to use OpenJPA on a project. The tool appears
straight
forward and works well, I have ran the reverse engineering example
on my
own DB
- it works great. However... no EJB3 annotations were generated
(@Entity,
etc).
What configuration option must I define to have the reversemapping
tool
generate
an EJB3 EntityEJB?
A short response would be great - any response would would really
help (am
I
asking for something that does not exist?)
Thank-you,
Linda Rae
