Re: Hibernate Reverse Engineering Strategy

[Edwin DeSouza]

MySQL Workbench can generate schemas for some popular ORMs:

We are looking for community contributions for ActiveRecord, Hibernate, etc

If you already have a ORM Schema, and you want to visualize the ERD, then forward engineer to the database, and reverse engineer from the database to MySQL Workbench.

WB can do Forward Engineering:
1) WB --> RDBMS
2) WB --> ORM --> RDBMS

WB can do Reverse Engineering:
3) WB <-- RDBMS
4) WB <-- RDBMS <-- ORM
5) [WB <-- ORM is not planned. Use Scenario #4 instead]
