Wow - your first e-mail about this in 6 months since Abator came out. That doesn't sounds like an epidemic of confusion to me.
But you have as much access to the web site as I do. If you've got a clarifying statement you want to add somewhere, then feel free.

Okay...so today I got my first personal email from a very confused user:
---------------------------
Dear sir,i'm new to ibatis.thru abator i generated files such as,2 dao classes,3 java classes and 1 sql map file for each table.inorder to retrieve data from a table anddisplay vat i have to do.i 'm nt getting any idea by seeing JpetStore.that is different from the files created by abator 4 me.---------------------------
Okay, so there's a clear language issue. But beyond that, this person does not understand that Abator is NOT iBATIS (and vice versa).
Jeff: Can you suggest a way to clarify that Abator and similar tools are not required, nor are they a "part" of iBATIS?
Tools are very valuable, but we must ensure that iBATIS remains independent and that everyone understands the boundaries.
Cheers,
Clinton
