I'm just asking this here, although I don't have high hopes for something like this, anymore ... It just seems like if Hibernate offers this choice - It should be in the Hibernate Tools (as an option for reverse engineering) aswell.

I read in a similar thread that the Hibernate Tools Team doesn't see any value to this. Seeing you can easily call:
pojo.getTableCompositeId().getIdFieldOne() or
pojo.getTableCompositeId().getIdFieldTwo()

But what if it is a requirement to have the pojos look exactly like their counterpart in the database? Exactly, then you have a bit of a problem, don't you?
At least if your tables/classes are running in the neiborhood of >300.

So, please reconsider making this available!

I have exactly need such a requirement. Specifically I want to migrate current entity generations from Intellij IDEA to maven hibernate tools. And our legacy entities are generated with IDEA in this way.

I will be very glad to have ability to configure generating entities.

Thanks

I have just checked source code of the code generation of the entities. At least now I am sure that there is not such a feature. Actually I could not feel myself brave enough to make a change.

Could you help us for such a feature?

Just because the core allows to Map non clean models doesn't mean we should generate them.

If you have a requriement of exposing all properties flat on the model then you can implement that as addition to the template generation.
