Interesting. We've also used Hibernate's <meta> elements to provide
metadata [1] for JSP UIs generation in md4j [2], along with DAOs, EJBs,
Struts etc. Worth looking into, although we will probably look at
freemarker templates for future versions - those can be consumed by
Hibernate tools directly.
