Tools for XMI to HBM mapping

Hi Folks.
I'm using Hibernate Sync. for eclipse as a beautiful tool to generate HBM files and classes from a database. But as far as I have searched, I can't find a good open source way to convert my Argo model into HBM files.
I read in wiki a reference about a XMI package for middlegen.
What solution do you folks are using to work with those models ?
AndroMDA ? Jnius (I'm sure I can't use Jnius, it does not work !)
Yes, this is a kind of philosophycal topic: Why so many good tools to map from database and so many complicated/commercial ones to map from XMI. Or I may be wrong, and there is a excelent way to work it out right in front of my nose.
Thanks !

Had a brief play with AndroMDA. I understand its improve alot in recent times - YMMV.

I'm going to try v3.0 of AndroMDA. But I don't like the idea of using poseidon as UML designer. I can't find out if Argo is supported as tool. The wiki site (of Andromda) says that the only model supported is poseidon or magic draw, both outside open source world.
Well I will try, if it works I will write down here a positive note :)

Does it generates HBM ? I can't find it.
