Any thoughts on utilizing Middlegen

to generate CMP based entity beans? I personally use this tool a great deal and it saves me a ton of time in when I create CMP entity beans. Basically, it allows you to point at a database and generate Entity Beans from the table(s) that you want. It is all driven through ANT and produces XDoclet output that can then be compiled.
