Re: SimpleORM Download Form

Hello Martin,

The generator had not been upgraded to 3.0, so your work is much appreciated.  

meta.findOrCreate is now SSessionJDBC.findOrCreate and friends.  Before going too far with the generator I suggest that you carefully read through ADemo.java to see the general flow.

I would prefer not to introduce dependencies to other packages such as Ant.  Make sure that the generator can run as a simple main().  This can be simply called from Ant (possibly via a macro), or you could add an ant wrapper in a separate, completely optional class.

When you are finished, send it to me and I will check it in.  

It should have a little self contained test case/example.  Eg. build the Employee/Department schema in HSQL from the main tests, then reverse engineer it back with the tool.  If that is done I will be able to move it from Extras to part of the main tool (in its own jar).

Also, please post your progress to the mailing list.

Thanks,

Anthony

Just because it is possible to push twigs along the ground with ones nose
does not necessarily mean that is the best way to collect firewood.
