In a fit of procrastinatory mania, I replaced ORMapMaker's parser
with a new one built with JavaCC. It will now parse any CREATE TABLE
statements that are legal in SQL-92, and ignores anything that isn't
a table definition. The only remaining issue with the parser is that
it doesn't know all the various datatypes that different DBs
provide... I'll try to fix that soon.
The parser was the major issue holding up release, I think, so this
is a good time imho to call it 2.0 beta 1.
I updated all the docs, checked everything in, and tagged it
town-2-0-b1. Jon, it's be great if you can check out the docs to the
public site. The jars are currently available at
http://www.lorax.org/lorax/town; can you copy them over to your
machine so that the download links will work? Thanks :)
Other recent fixes:
Moved ORMapMaker into its own package (com.workingdogs.town.ormapmaker)

Hm, the new parser doesn't like this either, since it's not valid
SQL-92. It's easy to update the grammar, though... you can fix it
yourself in sql92createtable.jj, or let me know what new rules you
want. I am intending to make sure it accepts anything that's legal
in MySQL and hopefully Oracle as well.

Fixed: If -usertable is present, the lastmodifieduser mechanism kicks
in, otherwise it doesn't.

ORMapMaker now generates a maxids.sql script which creates and
populates the table.
