I just skimmed your email a few days ago, but after coming back to it, I
really like the idea. 


A few minor comments:

> * all stuff from the generators in torque and ojb
> * generation of om/peer classes using ojb (to make migration easy for
torque users)

Are you insinuating that Torque as a project would disappear? (I'm not
saying I disagree with it, just clarifying)

> * generation of templates and java code for turbine
> * generation of ui code for swing apps (something like the autoform
stuff in ms
> access)

These two points would be really cool (especially the templates/java
code).

> * ability to use a database to store the descriptions (it should also
work with xml files)
> * a gui to edit create/edit the descriptions (the generator could
generate it's own gui
> ;-)

This would be nice (the gui with a database backend), but I think
initially just editing an XML file is fine (we can discuss the details
when the db.apache.org thing comes around). 

> * maven plugin for all the generation stuff

I'd actually be against providing only a maven plugin. Unless we want to
force people to use Maven (which as nice as Maven is, we don't need to
force people on it). But again, we can discuss details in the future.
