Here's the relevant code from the build file:
<target
name="init"
depends="setup-webinf"
description="--> generates the full application">
<antcall target="create-database"/>
<antcall target="schema-sql"/>
<antcall target="idtable-init-sql"/>
<antcall target="security-sql"/>
<antcall target="insert-sql-files"/>
<antcall target="update-tr-props"/>
<antcall target="project-om"/>
<antcall target="compile"/>
</target>
I didn't notice the insert-sql-files gated by the
database.manual.creation property (which could be dangerous). You'll
definitely get your OM/Peer class regenerated. Jason, care to
comment?
