Hashim Kubba commented on HBX-946:
----------------------------------

No;  when I use 

<table-filter match-name=".*" match-catalog="DATA" match-schema="PUBLIC"> 
		<meta attribute="extends">BasicDataObject</meta>
		<meta attribute="scope-class">public abstract</meta>
</table-filter>
<table name="PROPERTY" catalog="DATA" schema="PUBLIC">
		<column name="ID">
			<meta attribute="use-in-equals">true</meta>
			<meta attribute="use-in-tostring">true</meta>
		</column>
</table> ...

It dos not work, yet if I use 

<table name="PROPERTY" catalog="DATA" schema="PUBLIC">
		<meta attribute="extends">BasicDataObject</meta>
		<meta attribute="scope-class">public abstract</meta>
		<column name="ID">
			<meta attribute="use-in-equals">true</meta>
			<meta attribute="use-in-tostring">true</meta>
		</column>
</table> ...

It works

> JDK 1.5

> 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
