In NetBeans, you can do New >> Entity Classes from Database. I want to create a Java app that will automatically do this instead of using NetBeans.

I seems that org.hibernate.tool.hbm2ddl.SchemaExport might be the thing to use, but I cannot figure out how.

Here's what I have so far:

public static void main(String[] args)
{
Configuration config = new Configuration();
Properties properties = new Properties();
properties.put("hibernate.dialect", "org.hibernate.dialect.SQLServerDialect");
properties.put("hibernate.connection.url", "jdbc:sqlserver://localhost;databaseName=mydb");
properties.put("hibernate.connection.username", "username");
properties.put("hibernate.connection.password", "password");
properties.put("hibernate.connection.driver_class", "com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver");
properties.put("hibernate.show_sql", "true");
config.setProperties(properties);
SchemaExport schemaExport = new SchemaExport(config);
schemaExport.create(true, false);
}

I need the code to generate the entity classes.

Any help would be much appreciated.
