Dear WO cracks

I've asked this a while a go on the apple wo mailing list but did not  
get an answer (or did I miss it?):

Can anyone please guide me through the steps of reverse engineering a  
FrontBase db?

I tried following the tutorial here
http://wiki.objectstyle.org/confluence/display/WOL/Using+Entity+Modeler
but am not very successful.

What I tried so far:
- After failing with an existing (converted) project I started from  
scratch with a new WO project.
- I have the following frameworks added to the project:
	- ERPrototypes
	- ERExtensions
	- FrontBasePlugIn
	- JavaEOAccess
	- JavaEOControl
	- JavaFoundation
	- JavaJDBCAdaptor
	- JavaWebObjects
	- JavaWOJSPServlet
	- JavaXML
- In addtition I do have the frontbasejdbc.jar  in the library
- I created a new EOModel and set the DB configuration:
	- Prototype: EOJDBCFrontBasePrototypes
	- Adaptor: JDBC
	- URL: jdbc:FrontBase://localhost/mydb/isolation=read_committed/ 
locking=optimistic
	- And I of course also did set the username and the name of the config

The problem:
After setting things up I hit the "Revese Engineer" button and let  
Entity Modeler import all entities of that db. The "Prototype" column  
stayed empty for each attribute. When I tried to save an error message  
was displayed for every attribute saying "The attribute ... does not  
have a value class name".

Can someone please tell me what I am missing? Thanks!

will

P.S.: This is on the latest version of WO Libs (updated today),  
Eclipse 3.3.2, Mac OS 10.5
