Specify gui=true in ant task, properties file or command line (ant
-Dgui=true middlegen).

As long as MS Access has a working JDBC driver it should work. I have no
idea if it does, probably..

The jar file for the driver must be in classpath. Then you can provide
connection details in the <middlegen> ant task:

<middlegen
	appname="${name}"
	prefsdir="${src.dir}"
	gui="${gui}"
	databaseurl="${database.url}"
	initialContextFactory="${java.naming.factory.initial}"
	providerURL="${java.naming.provider.url}"
	datasourceJNDIName="${datasource.jndi.name}"
	driver="${database.driver}"
	username="${database.userid}"
	password="${database.password}"
	schema="${database.schema}"
	catalog="${database.catalog}"
	includeViews="false"

In the samples this is done by using external jdbc xml files. Take a look
at mysql.xml for an example.

You don't need XDoclet when working with Middlegen/Hibernate. Middlegen
generates the XML mapping files, from there you run the hbm2java task to
generate the classes.

True, please let me know if you work out the Access stuff and I'll put the
info out somewhere.
