A tool for converting database tables to entity java classes for hibernate

Question

Hi;

I need a tool for converting database tables to entity java files for hibernate.

There are 20 tables (mysql) and I don't want to copy table's column name to my Java file and so on.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Hibernate Tools.

Keep in mind that entity classes / mappings that Database Reverse Engineering tool will generate may not be ideal (depending on complexity of your database) and you'll have to manually update them.

Take a look at this question as well.

Answer 2

Eclipse DALI, Netbeans jpa-plugin and Oracle JDevelopper.
