    I've tidied this project up a bit and made some of the changes you've
    suggested (discussed below). I've put a new version of the source up at
    the same location,
      http://203.15.93.19/GenerateModelTool.tar.gz

    I was able to use ConfigSaver to generate my node information, but not the
    cayenne.xml. Some of the methods in ConfigSaver that I'd like to use have
    protected access (eg: storeDomain). Calling storeDomains leads to a
    NullPointerException,

    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
            at
    org.objectstyle.cayenne.conf.ConfigSaver.storeDomains(ConfigSaver.java:94)
            at GenerateModel.generateCayenneXml(GenerateModel.java:203)
            at GenerateModel.go(GenerateModel.java:109)
            at GenerateModel.main(GenerateModel.java:67)

    It's now using AutoAdapter as you recommended in your other email.

    I think your suggestion of making this an ant task to completement cdbgen
    is good and I'll have a think about putting a frontend on it for this
    purpose next. I think it has value as a command-line tool also, though.
