Yes. For maven, fgenerate the schema from the database using jdbc metadata by: <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.torque</groupId> <artifactId>torque-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>4.0</version> <executions> <execution> <id>generate-schema-from-jdbc</id> <phase>generate-resources</phase> <goals> <goal>generate</goal> </goals> <configuration> <packaging>classpath</packaging> <configPackage>org.apache.torque.templates.jdbc2schema</configPackage> <defaultOutputDir>target/generated-schema</defaultOutputDir> <defaultOutputDirUsage>none</defaultOutputDirUsage> <loglevel>info</loglevel> <options> <torque.jdbc2schema.driver>$ {driver}</torque.jdbc2schema.driver> <torque.jdbc2schema.url>$ {database.url}</torque.jdbc2schema.url> <torque.jdbc2schema.user>$ {database.user}</torque.jdbc2schema.user> <torque.jdbc2schema.password>$ {database.password}</torque.jdbc2schema.password> </options> </configuration> </execution> </executions> </plugin> Note that the generated schema is just a starting point, there is some information missing from jdbc metadata (e.g. foreign keys, indexes, unique constraints...)
