Generator is a command line application to facilitate the construction of small applications that need some database objects. It isn't a replacement for complex object persistence solutions, like hibernate or TopLink, but it covers a different target: the little Java Web applications that don't use sophisticated persistence options. Generator invocation is simple: just type java -jar generator.jar -xml, where the config file is an XML config file with the definitions to connect to the database and generate the bean classes. You can also use the Ant task.

Thanks for your comment.
Well I agree with you, there is few documentation to set up. This is because this project is used in my current work, and I use it very often.
I have plans to completely update the documentation before the 2.1.x releases, so stay tuned ;)
And if you have some suggestion for additional features or you find a bug, then be freely to communicate with me :D

This project is difficult to set up, mainly due to its
lack of documentation, but it seems to do exactly
what I want. I've been searching for the ability to
automatically create standard 'get' and 'set' beans
from a database for a while now. I can only
assume that its included in IDEs such as NetBeans,
but I certainly can't find it.
Thanks for the good work!
