Add a general meta for all the tables in the database, see [HBX-575] -------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HBX-946 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HBX-946 Project: Hibernate Tools Issue Type: Improvement Components: reverse-engineer Affects Versions: 3.2beta9 Environment: using eclipse 3.2.2 JDK 1.5 hibernate tools 3.2beta9 h2 database ver 1.0 Reporter: Hashim Kubba Priority: Minor I'm adding meta attributes in reveng.xml (HBX-575) for customization of the resulting Java code from a reverse engineered database. yet I would really like to be able to add a general class-description to all my classes ( say @ Auther or @version ) , even better; I want all my classes to extend BasicDataObject where I can add some static final constants to use, but now I have to add that to each table <hibernate-reverse-engineering> <table name="FOO"> <meta attribute="extends">BasicDataObject</meta> </table name> <table name="BOO"> <meta attribute="extends">BasicDataObject</meta> </table name> ... </hibernate-reverse-engineering> What I would like to see is something like <hibernate-reverse-engineering> <meta attribute="extends">BasicDataObject</meta> </hibernate-reverse-engineering> and that will make all my classes extend BasicDataObject; metas that can be used directly under hibernate-reverse-engineering are: * class-description general comment for all classes * implements implements a common interface with constants * extends extends a common class with constants and common methods * scope-class make all classes protected * scope-set all sets in all classes * scope-get all gets in all classes A nice to have will be: * generated-class-suffix * generated-class-prefix or <meta name="generated-class" suffix="suffix" prefix="prefix" /> that will allow me to control all the classes names -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/secure/Administrators.... - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
