I think that sounds like an appropriate commons component. You also might want to take a look at the "Torque" mini-project within Turbine, http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/torque.html, which takes an XML description of a datamodel and generates the appropriate DDL script for several databases. It seems related, and potentially expandable to meet your requirements as well.
