IMHO, both approaches are legitimate. Middlegen is
focused on generating xdoclet marked 
source files. 
(Though it can generate almost everything else).

Having xdoclet marked java source  files has its
advantages - xdoclet is not only for
mappings, I'm also using it to generate BeanInfo
and externalized properties out of my data model
classes. 

I consider hibernate module already usefull, 
but short of composite IDs ( have still to figure 
out myself what to generate , and what tags to use -
but this is on hibernate message board )

This will be implemented soon. What else?
