Hi John,

I'm sorry for getting back to you in such horribly late fashion. Your email was unfortunately buried in a mass of others. I *really* want to get database reverse-engineering working, and in fact, such an effort had been started by Max Andersen but abandoned because he didn't have time to get it finished up. The forge API has improved since then, so it should be easier, but his work probably needs to be updated at this point:

https://github.com/maxandersen/forge/tree/htools

Max, if John is interested, would you be willing to give him a brief overview of what has been done, and what still needs to be done? He could at least try it out, see what works and what doesn't, and maybe even pull out what you've done into a standalone plugin:

See plugin writing guide:
http://docs.jboss.org/forge/snapshot/reference/en-US/html_single/#forge.plugin.dev

Let me know. I would be more than happy to work with you on this!
Lincoln

Hi Lincoln-

I was chatting with Dan Allen and he mentioned you are working on Forge and specifically the reverse engineering feature from the database. I wanted to reach out to you to see if you have any early versions you need testers to help you verify this feature.

I look forward to hearing from you!

John

Hey John,

Thanks for reading the book. I'm glad it helped you along. I know about those painful days of J2EE you are talking about.

The best way to get started atm is using the Maven archetype.

That gives you a starter project. We don't yet have the reverse engineering yet for this environment. That what Forge will offer soon. Check out the issue tracker or mailing list for updates.

Hope that gets you started. Cheers,
