For what it's worth, it's simple enough to call the schema generator
just by adding the modeler jar file to the classpath, so I'd expect
the reengineer task to be equally easy:
boolean notCleanState = true;
DbGenerator dbGenerator = new DbGenerator(dbAdapter, dataMap);
dbGenerator.setShouldDropTables(notCleanState);
dbGenerator.setShouldDropPKSupport(notCleanState);
dbGenerator.setShouldCreatePKSupport(true);
dbGenerator.setShouldCreateTables(true);
dbGenerator.setShouldCreateFKConstraints(false);
dbGenerator.runGenerator(dataSource);
