How can I generate DDL from existing entities with annotations using a maven plugin?

问题

I have maven project and I want to generate DDL from existing entities.

How can I do that?

Is there any maven plugin that I can generate the DDL?

I am using JPA.(open jpa)

回答1:

openjpa-maven-plugin plugin provides a goal sql. Using this goal, it is possible to create the DDL from existing entities.

If you are using Hibernate as your JPA provider, check http://users.mafr.de/~matthias/articles/generating-ddl-scripts.html.

Possible duplicate of generate DDL from JPA annotations, although the question there is phrased slightly differently?
