Re: [ANNOUNCE] Abator renamed to iBATOR
Thanks for the advice - I'll take it! I was already getting weary of typing iBATOR - ibator it is. Thanks for the freedom to do this - and the encouragement about ibator.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Abator renamed to iBATOR
Sorry, I forgot to mention this sooner... It's a minor recommendation for your own sanity. I suggest avoiding the reverse title case used by iBATIS... It's a decision I wish I hadn't made. I would suggest simply using Ibator or even better: ibator. In hindsight, I wish I had used all lowercase: ibatis. It might also look better and be easier to read when written in its full form: Apache iBATIS ibator. While unique, it presents a lot of challenges in typing, naming, and general writing. Totally your call though. Other than that, I love the new name, despite the reason for the change. :-) Congratulations again on building a kick ass product that is gathering attention of all kinds.

[ANNOUNCE] Abator renamed to iBATOR
Due to a trade registration dispute, we are renaming Apache iBATIS Abator to Apache iBATIS iBATOR. The new version is still under development - although the core work is almost complete. I have committed an initial version to SVN so you can take a look at what's going on. There will be no further enhancements or changes to Abator - all new work will be in the iBATOR code stream here: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ibatis/trunk/java/tools/ibator/. I will be focusing on some changes to the Eclipse plugin for the new few weeks before doing a formal release. The new version will NOT be 100% compatible with Abator - but will be very close. Transition from Abator to iBATOR should be simple. I've listed some information about the development effort on the iBATOR homepage (http://ibatis.apache.org/ibator.html) if you want more information. This would be a good time to make suggestions for improvements to iBATOR as I am willing to make some breaking changes with the new version - so feel free to let me know if there are things you would like to see added or changed. BTW - I know there is some interest about seeing table relationships handled in iBATOR. This will not make it into the initial release. It's a big job, and I'm still not convinced of the usefulness of doing this. I hope to keep the disruption to a minimum, and I will include a migration guide once the new version is complete. Let me know if you have any good ideas for the future of iBATOR. Jeff Butler
