I would guess that this is moderately complex. Besides the complexity of the introspection, there could be difficult class path issues if the base class is not in abator's class path. But this is the beauty of open source...you can give it a try and see how well it works. You would need to implement the JavaModelGenerator interface and plug it in to abator.

Just curious, will this be difficult to implement. can i implement this in my local and if it works give it back ? ashok On 5/9/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Abator does not introspect the base classes to see if there is a match > or not.
