Yeah, but I think we can kill two birds with one stone here. So if we do
use Hibernate tools for this, I think we should still try to extract that
functionality into something more generally useful like John wants to do.

I actually send that email to early not explaining well what I meant ;)
The current forge hibernate tools is 100% "read via jbdc from a database
and generate entities".
But hibernate tools core which forge hibernate tools is using actually
don't have to start with just a database; it can also be "take existing
classes and generate artifacts from that". As long as hibernate core can
understand the mappings hibernate tools can load it.
The limitation of this is of course you don't have the full Forge API
available to you (since hibernate tools was done pre-forge) but at least it
is an alternative that could be looked into using
in the short time. Just a thought.
