Also, FWIW, the BEA Workshop tool (eclipse-based) will reverse-generate classes from a database as well, and supports putting the metadata into annotations.

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.
