Visual Designer Tool for Hibernate Annotations

Question

I started using Hibernate only recently. While I was playing with it, I experienced the problem , which I assume, is faced by every Hibernate Beginner.

I want a good visual designer Tool that can generate Annotated Classes for Hibernate. It should be able to generate the classes from some diagramatic representation or a wizard. I would prefer the Tool to be Free and Open Source but that is not a compulsion.

Are there any such Hibernate Annotated Class Generator Visual Tools?

The closest you'll get with Open Source Tools is probably JBoss Tools. It contains some Eclipse Plugins for Mapping Diagrams etc.

From the link, Mapping Diagrams appear to be sort of **read-only** type where we can see the representation but can't modify it to generate the classes :( – Lucky Murari May 20 '11 at 05:34
@Lucky exactly. Round-trip engineering is only available in commercial tools AFAIK – Sean Patrick Floyd May 20 '11 at 07:07
Are you aware of any commercial tools? {commercial is also fine for now} – Lucky Murari May 20 '11 at 07:23

@Lucky I've never tried any myself, but I have heard people recommend this: http://www.visual-paradigm.com/product/dbva/ – Sean Patrick Floyd May 20 '11 at 07:28
It supposedly has Java round-trip engineering: http://www.visual-paradigm.com/product/dbva/provides/codedbeng.jsp#javaroundtrip – Sean Patrick Floyd May 20 '11 at 07:30
