Unfortunately the database reverse-engineering plugin is still under development. We actually have it working, but the plugin was never released or updated for Alpha3. Actually, I think Max has things mostly done, if you're interested you might be able to get it working pretty easily using the plugin writing section of the guide:

http://docs.jboss.org/forge/1.0.0.Alpha3/reference/en-US/html_single/#forge.plugin.dev

Max, what would you say it would take to get this working on Alpha3? Is Hibernate-tools in maven yet?

Lincoln,

Is there a how-to for the case where I have an existing
database/entities?

I think what I'd like to do is either (a) gen entities from my database
or (b) update my existing entities with EJB3/JB6 annotations... then gen
the front-end.
