Idea

here are the 2 latest grand ideas for things I should write if only I had the time.

A suite and integrated Eclipse plugin which will do both ER Data modeling and Object modeling. Inculding the functionality of products like Case Studio or Erwin. Things like DDL generation and reverse engineering from physical data and support for metadata standards.
Also providing support for object modeling and java code generation.

Then importantly covering the missing peice of the puzzle the link between the 2 using hibernate or possibly any other ORM. This would give the ability to jump from one to the other and maintain the entire application design int he one tool.

Just an idea... maybe I'll see if I can make a start on it sometime begining with the Eclipse EMF or possible looking at the open source object modeling plugin greenuml
