-----------------------------------------

yes I understood what you wanted to do; I just don't understand the usecase ;)

Why are you not writing the entities directly instead of via hbm.xml's ?

Adding class-annotation, might make sense, but I'm just curious since it feels a bit backward
and what will be needed next? (e.g. property-get-annotation etc.)

> We use hbm2java to create EJB3 entity beans from hbm files.  It would be really useful to use the `meta' element to insert additional class level annotations.  Is someone already working on such a feature, or should I submit a patch?
> Here is an example of what I would like to do:
> <meta attribute="extra-import">org.jboss.seam.annotations.Name</meta>
> <meta attributre="class-annotation">@Name("myObject")</meta>
> such that the following code would be generated:
> import javax.ejb.Entity;
> import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Name;
> @Entity
> @Name("myObject")
> public class MyObject ....
