The tutorial below details how to do reverse engineering of Hibernate/JPA POJO entities from database tables.
The database tables\entities which are used for this tutorial are Course, Department and Student. The way these 3 tables are related are Courses have a many-to-many relationship with Students and Students have a many-to-many relationship with Departments. This means … Continue reading Reverse Engineering of JPA Entities with JBoss Tools Eclipse Plugin. →
