Spring Roo and database reverse engineering

[balteo]

Hello,

I am actively looking for a tool that could generate JPA entities from a live database. I also need to be able to customize the way join tables are used by my JPA entities.

I've tried Spring roo and it generates empty entities (no members are present in the java files) for me as well as .aj files. Is there a way to get proper standard entity classes from Spring roo? If so how?

Regards,

Julien.

Have a look at the section on removing Roo in the docs - basically you can just fold in the stuff in the .aj files as needed I think.

Cheers,

Matt

Thanks matt. I'll try that. It is a pity it is not possible to perform this task from the command line...

I think there was an open enhancement request for it - if you want to vote on it

I have now voted up for the enhancement.
