#1 Ant Task to Reverse Engineer Diagram From Database Metadata

[Mark Fortner]

With a lot of projects, documentation is the last thing
that people do. It would be very useful to be able to
generate a new ER diagram as part of a daily build and
burn. This would insure that the ER diagram is always
up-to-date.

The user would add an Ant target to their build file
that would look something like this

<target name="build.erd" description="Creates ER Diagram"
<generate-er-diag
connection="jdbc/mydatabase"
outfile="mydatabase.svg" />
</target>
