Good.

What is jenesis?
Xdoclet.util.TemplateEngine is not yet 100% ready to be used standalone.
In fact I made some mistakes, for example I should change from throwing
ant.BuildException to something not ant dependent. All the stuff that
Dmitri talked about to break functionality into separate classes. We'll
implement it after v1.0. I've never thought I templateengine as a
competitor to other template engines, but it's possible.
You need a template engine and I think Velocity is good. I hate
scriptlets, mixing java in other things, joolivooli code, so I like the
approach we've taken in xdoclet. We'll make it even more lightweight.

For the start no, but later yes.

Different ways to map a class hierarchy to tables, class->table, a
hierarchy->1 table, base-info in concrete class's table, and so on.
