This tool is needed. It needs to be brain dead easy to use. A GUI is not
necessary, but it should be easy to run from Ant. It should use templates. I
think that the TableMaps should be populated from the Schema. The reason is
that XML is not the end all solution for everything. Most people use tools
that generate a Schema, not an XML file. The people who are not even using
those tools generally just generate a Schema themselves by hand, not an XML
file.
dave, keep going the direction you were going. it is the right direction.
