Great! Here comes the question: Can you deliver it in 3-4 days (not
needed to say tested)? You know we're going to release it in 3-4 days.
Actually I was going to update the old weblogic stuff to use ejb:bean at
least. If you can deliver it soon then 1-2 days more is not a big deal
to me, will wait and integrate your stuff and throw old weblogic stuff
away without updating it.

Sure, if you prove to be active :-)

You can set Notes to use plain text. Not using it right now, but I know
it's there in one of the toolbars :o)

I looked :-)
Seems very good, the xdoclet version will be way easier to write,
instead of all those .print(" @blabla" ) you can write a simple template
for that.
It's not "meet-in-the-middle" though! Ideally you have to use this tool
only once, then you can change the @tags. But where do I have control
over it? Let's say I don't want field x in my EJB, though it's there in
DB. If you could provide a GUI for that, that'll be great. VAJ loads DB
schema, then you create a mapping schema. Loading schema means it let's
you select the db/tables. Configuring mapping schema involves selecting
the field and specifying the mapping and so on. There's lot more to that
than a simple field->attribute mapping. What you gonna do with
inheritance? It needs human assistance so it needs a GUI, without that
does it help much? Well for some very simple cases yes, but that never
happened for me ever :-)
I am very interested in this tool, it complements xdoclet and is needed
for jboss/orion/whatever. If we could somehow make the whole thing
round-trip that would be really useful.

Ara.
