I have to develop a java web application. For persistence, I am going to use hibernate.
I am a symfony2 developer and I like generating my entities using Doctrine 2 console.
So is there a similar tool for hibernate (or other well known Java ORM) that generates entities automatically ?
AFAIK, no, there are no entity generators on par with the ones in doctrine or rails.
However generating entities from existing tables can still be quite comfortable if you use eclipse. Take a look at this help page . The page itself is a bit outdated, but the functionality is still there. The menus will guide you nicely through property and relation mapping.
Other IDEs like IntelliJ and NetBeans probably have similar tools, but I am not familiar enough with them to advise.
