NetBeans does fairly decent schema generation, at least for JPA. I'm not too sure whether it supports XML-based schema definitions too. Personally, I look at the XML-based hibernate stuff and shudder. JPA isn't exactly beautiful, but it's fairly maintainable and kind of clean. If you're building a new project, have you considered using JPA and Hibernate EntityManager? You can always drop back down to the underlying Hibernate APIs when you need to (for example: setting parent/child autodelete relationships, which aren't defined in JPA 1 only in the yet-to-be-availible JPA2) and most of the time EntityManager is very nice to work with. You still use HQL, or native SQL queries as/when you prefer. -- Craig Ringer -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
