I was having trouble using my ibator plugin from eclipse, getting the error "Cannot instantiate object of type com.example.ibatis.ibator.plugins.ClassAnnotator" and found an old thread [1] which references the same error. It appears it is still relevant (I could only run my plugin via eclipse by putting my plugin classes into $eclipse/plugins/org.apache.ibatis.ibator.core_1.2.1/ibator.jar).
For using plugins, is the ant-task still the preferred way to use Ibator? I use maven, and can use maven-antrun-plugin, but is it still true that any changes made to generated files will be lost when using the ant version since it does not merge java files? Are there plans, or a roadmap for Ibator? I'm spending a lot of time getting this plugin working (and actually believe it will be worth it over the course of multiple projects). I'm wondering if I can contribute back to the ibator-core, but would hesitate if there is going to be a drastic redesign for ibatis-3.0. ...Chad [1] http://www.nabble.com/Re:-ibator-question-about--element-p19222727.html
