Hi Thotheolh, Thomas and I work on a solution which soon will be integrated and will eventually has the following features:
- Default H2 release can be used - Standalonge migration .jar is available from the h2 homepage - If H2 finds the migration classes, it will convert the database via "script to" and "runscript from" automatically This should meet your requirements.
