I am using a custom reverse engineering strategy with Hibernate Tools, I have extended org.hibernate.cfg.reveng.DelegatingReverseEngineeringStrategy and have been happily generating my classes from my Postgres database schema for sometime now.

However I now wish to add Hibernate Envers into the mix. Envers requires that I add @Audited annotations to my Classes, as my classes are generates by Hibernate Tools as part of my Maven Build, I would like to be able to add these annotations from my extension of DelegatingReverseEngineeringStrategy.

Can someone tell me how I programatically specify these annotations in my extended DelegatingReverseEngineeringStrategy, so that Hibernate Tools will add them to the classes it generates?

Thanks Adam.

You can't use DelegatingReverseEngineeringStrategy to add extra annotation.

You can use
1. "class-modifier" meta attribute
2. custom template (add your annotation to PojoTypeDeclaration.ftl).
