Thanks for the kind words.
I'm hesitant to do the DDL thing because it would mean that Abator would have to parse the DDL and that is very difficult given that there are so many different database dialects out there. If we went this route, we'd probably need to come up with an Abator DDL syntax, rather than relying on any vendor's syntax. Then we'd probably want a translator to translate the Abator syntax into a specific database dialect, and then before you know it you're back in the realm of top down CMP entity beans (shudder). So I think that is probably beyond the scope of the tool.
But I do like another idea that's emerging on this thread - using Abator to generate classes and methods given arbitrary queries. That should be pretty simple to accomplish.

Thanks Jeff for making this terrific Eclipse plugin.I am thinking the application of this tool to a kind of DB2 CRUD system.I have 2 things to ask of you.Is there a way to use DDL file to add table information to Abator configuration file instead of 'table' tag?Another thing is I can't read http://ibatis.apache.org/dtd/abator-config_1_0.dtd file. I got just the following message.
The XML page cannot be displayed

Cannot have a DTD declaration outside of a DTD. Error processing resource 'http://ibatis.apache.org/dtd/abator-config_1_0.d. ..
