    Yeah, I am very interested in seeing that. Would be nice if this could
    support multiple mapping formats and multiple (customizable) output
    formats. Basically loading any of the supported formats into a
    format-agnostic Java objects and then apply a chosen template to generate
    output.

    BTW, some of the Cayenne contributors/users have actually done some work
    in this area:

    It would also be cool if we could figure out a way to factor out common
    effort done by Cayenne and WO[Lips|Project] communities into a common
    framework used by both projects (ObjectStyle-commons?).

    Also I wonder if tools like XDoclet (http://xdoclet.sourceforge.net/)
    would be of any use on this project? (Haven't looked at it close enough
    though...)
