Hi all,

does anyone know a way to generate the hibernate mapping files and/or pojo classes using a graphical entitiy-relationschip diagram editor ?

The only thing i could find in the eclipse hibernate tools is the mapping diagram, but it only displays the database / object mappings.

thanks !

check out power architect

it will take you two steps
1 - "forward to engineer" in PA to create tables from your diagram
2 - reverse engineer database to domain objects using hibernate tools hbm2java

it just takes a couple of button clicks to execute once you have it set up
