Hello, I'd like to donate a program I wrote to the commons project if there's interest. I call it BeanGen, and it generates java beans from xml files at compile time.
The base functionality is to read an xml file, take information about the fields and their types, and spit out a java file. It can also connect to a database and pull fields from there. So you could say <table name="blah"/> and the program would connect to the database, get the metadata from table blah, translate them to java types, and spit out the bean with the appropriate properties. You can further specify to exclude fields from the table, or add additional fields, or override the types on specific fields, etc. If there's interest in this here, I'd like to donate the code. I wrote it while working for a previous employer (the Valley Rural Electric Cooperative valleyrec.com), and I recently received permission to do an open source release. One GPL file was used in the program; I received permission from the author of that file this morning to relicense it under the apache license so I could donate it with the rest of my code. I know there's guidelines and stuff here for how code is supposed to be laid out. I'm willing to do any reformatting necessary to comply, if someone will point me where these guidelines are specified. All that being said, if there's not interest here, I'll most likely do my own LGPL release.
