HEDL - Hibernate Entity Definition Language

A DSL to specify entities and generate code for the Hibernate ORM mapper. HEDL supports entities, properties (read-only, read-write, unique), enumerations and uniqueness constraints over multiple properties. Also, documenting entities, properties and enumerations is supported.

The HEDL DSL comes with a builder that automatically transforms the DSL document to Java entity classes and Data Access Object (DAO) classes. The DAO classes contain many default methods for the creation and look up of entity objects. HEDL supports to add custom DAO methods by subclassing the generated files.
