Abator version 1.0.0 is now available. This is a significant upgrade from version 0.6.5 and includes many new features. Noteworthy new features include:
- Ability to generate code for Java 5 including the use of parameterized types
- Ability to generate different types of domain models, including a flat model if you dislike separate classes for primary keys and BLOBs
- VASTLY improved "by example" methods. The new methods can generate virtually any where clause, including INs and BETWEENs, and the generated DOAs and SqlMaps are MUCH smaller. The new example class can get large, but most functions for the dynamic where clause are encapsulated into that class (this support requires that you use iBATIS
2.2.0 or higher for the nested <iterate> support)
- VASTLY improved documentation for Abator, including a complete list of new features, is now available online here:
Please read the "What's New?" section of the online docs before upgrading - some of the default options have changed, and this could cause code to be generated that is not completely the same as prior versions of Abator. There are options available to generate code exactly as in prior versions if you so desire.

Thanks for all the comments and feedback about Abator. I've Incorporated everything I thought was reasonable into the new release.
