Hi Tobias, I wish to see an entity visualizer from which the user will be able to define the entities and the relationships between them.
After the user completed the entities definition, (s)he can specify extra parameters that affects the generation way (Some of the parameters are): 1. The build configuration type: Ant or Maven2. 2. Generated code style: Sun Convention or Apache Convention. 3. Targeted web server: Tomcat, Glassfish, or others. The user should also be able to control the dependencies used by the generated code for example: 1. JavaServer Faces Implementation: RI or MyFaces (I prefer to have MyFaces as the default implementation). 2. JavaServer Faces Version: By default 2.0. 3. Validation: Extval, or others. 4. Persistence: JPA, Hibernate ...etc. 5. Target Database: MySQL, Oracle, DB2, or others. Finally, the functionality done by the user interface should have equivalent CLI. I wish that we can use some pre-made tools like (Roo) and customize it for the generation part.
