Hibernate Tools and Reverse Engineering for Annotations

Hibernate version: 3.0.5
Hibernate Annotations version: 3.0beta2

Will the Hibernate Tools support reverse engineering
- starting from database tables and
- generating POJOs with Java annotations?

Of course the POJOs will/can not be perfect, but the generated Java files could be used as a starting point for further detailled developement.

yes - and they already do.

the annotations support is not perfect, but you are very welcome to extend and improve the velocity macros to improve this.
