migrate4j strives to be Java's answer to the db:migrate rake task in Rails. While it isn't a replacement or clone, it does provide simple configuration, flexibility and ease of use in a database migration tool.
Useful, simple and easy to use.
A great way of keeping your db schema in sync with your Java code base. A little rough around the edges, but improving all the time. Most of my gripes are already fixed in the svn trunk. Most Java coders don't like SQL much. Your team will thank you for choosing this tool, and the perennial 'wrong schema version' problems will disappear to boot. Well done!
Migrate4j is a migration tool for java, similar to Ruby's db:migrate task. Unlike other Java based migration tools, database schema changes are defined in Java, not SQL. This means your migrations can be applied to different database engines without worrying about whether your DDL statements will still work. This version adds improved usability (simplified syntax), additional schema changes and support for more database products. While migrate4j does not yet have support for all database products, we are actively seeking developers interested in helping fix this situation. To obtain migrate4j, visit us as http://sourceforge.net/projects/migrate4j and download the latest release. For more information, or to help with future development of migrate4j, email us at migrate4j-users AT lists.sourceforge.net (replacing the AT with the "at symbol").
