Hi James,

just some comments from my (newbie) point of view:

I tried this, but (IMHO) found out that the SourceGenerator couldn't do
what I wanted. I created Relations between classes by using the "rel"-Attibute 
in the schema file. The "name"-Attribute is forbidden when using "rel",
so I wasn't able to have some "named-relations", like for example:

class A
 private Vector foo; (relation to class bar)

The Sourcegenerator (due to schema restrictions) is only able to create:

class A
 private Vector bar; (relation to class bar)

So one can't choose the name of these collections.
Perhaps I'm completely wrong, please correct me then (-newbie-).
But if this is true, one pherhaps needs a higher level description 
(mapping-file or what ever) than a schema-definition-file.

> 2. A DDL generator included in the Java source generator.
same restriction as 1.

I am using a higher-level xml-definition file to generate
DDL,Java-BO-Sources and the mapping-file.

Regards,
 Thomas
