rename collections on reverse engineering

Hi,
I'm using the eclipse reverse engineering tool, and I want to rename a collection property.

For example, I have DB table like:

Cat
----
id
name

Mouse
------
id
name

cats_dinner
---------
cat_id
mouse_id

foreign keys: cd_fk_cat_id : cat_id -> cat.id
cd_fk_mouse_id : mouse_id -> mouse.id

So, by default, the reverse engineering will insert a property named "Mouses" into the Cat class,
but I want it to set it to Mice

I tried inserting:

Code:

<table schema="public" name="cat">
        <foreign-key constraint-name="cd_fk_cat_id">
      <set property="mice"/>
   </foreign-key>
</table>

in the reveng.xml.

it didn't affect the program generated in anyway.

on the contrary, inserting

Code:

<table schema="public" name="cat">
        <foreign-key constraint-name="cd_fk_cat_id">
      <set exclude="true"/>
   </foreign-key>
</table>

would remove the "Mouses" property from the Cat class completely.

thanks,
Roee

if that is the *exact* schema you are using then it sounds like a bug.

I don't really have cat and dog, but this is a translation..
I use eclipse Ganymede 3.4.2.

Well, I guess it is a bug...
