Hey guys-

I’ve been using the Abator plugin (part of the IBatis package) to generate Ibatis SQL Maps as a light-weight alternative to Hibernate for a few projects. It seems to work pretty well in 5m2 on eclipse 3.2, so it may be pretty simple to include this in your stack- I bet you could extend it pretty easily.

Just a thought-

Tim,
This is definately the most likely first-step for supporting iBatis. But considering that any time we integrate a plugin we then have to support it/extend it/fix it management doesn’t take “drop ins” lightly. They are aware of abator, I don’t know if they are waiting for it to reach a more mature state first though. Thanks for the reminder however.

Abator is a good start, but it could use some extending. My 1st request would be that the XML configuration file be turned into a GUI interface. 2nd request, allow more controll over what is generated – abator seems to be all or nothing when it comes to generating SQL Map files. Other than those two niggles, great little plugin.
