I don't know of any tool that would do this automagically. It might be something you could start a project with, but after that I'm not sure how useful such a tool would be.
Personally, I prefer using xdoclet to produce Hibernate mappings, and then use the Hibernate mappings to produce the DDL (which it does rather nicely). I found generating Java from Hibernate mappings to be useful for the initial development. Given that, it might make sense to generate schema using xdoclet.
