Hello Doug,

we're now using Toplink for quite a while and i really love the 
MappingWorkbench, because e.g. when you change the attributename the MW 
does all for you including some checks and some more.

I haven't yet found a tool for dali or eclipselink which does the same for 
me.
On the DB we use abbreviations for the columnname and want to use long 
names in the Java environment....

So for now it's quite hard work if you generate the mapping from the db 
and then try to rename everything by hand....

What's the current state of contributing the MW to eclipse... or to 
integrate support for the eclipselink in Toplink MW?

or is there a way to achieve this ?
