Before I saw Gavin's beautifull drawing I also viewed both approaches as
legitimate.
But I wanted BOTH possibilities, because of two things:

1. I like the codegenerator and the hbm.xml -> java approach
2. I like XDoclet and saw the ability to provide an java+@tags approach for
the beginner and intermediate user would be GREAT :)

But with the beautifuly drawing I saw symmetry (which is good :)
The only real "issue" is that if you are doing Middlegen->hbm.xml->java@tags
with
the purpose of using the java@tags version to do java@tags->hbm.xml, then it
seems rather "redundant"....

but then again, the XDoclet generation in the code generator would ofcourse
be optional....hey, i got to think....with my
local version of hbm2java (which the codegenerator is called now :) we got
the <meta attribute="description"></meta>, which
is an ideal place for MiddleGen to place it's "additional" XDoclet tags...if
that is in any way advantageous...
