Last stable version is 1.8.1

The Version 1.8.2 is pending until the the currend version of oaw 4.3.1 is avaiable for a build with maven.

See the roadmap for more informations

Overview

This Cartridge is based on openArchitectureWare 4.3 and provides templates and stereotypes for generating Entities and Hibernate O/R-mappings and configuration.

UML2 is used for modeling your domain. Every modeling tool which can export to EMF UML2 is supported. Simply model your domain, export the model and start the generation.

Most of the customizing facilitities of Hibernate are supported. Also a support of legacy databases with composite-key and key-references are supported.

The Entities are generated by the JavaBasic Cartridge. They generated artifacts compromises of three parts for every modeled Entity:

An interface, placed into a seperate physical lokation.
A JavaBean containing all properties and associations with customizable generation of equals() , hashcode() and toString(). This class is complete generated by the Fornax Hibernate Cartridge.
A super class of the JavaBean used for customization with manual written code
