Re: [Modelj-user] Re: Setting up jboss & mysql

[James M. <jmi...@ap...>]

I'm not really into application generation like I used to be, but you might
take a look at MDE by Metanology:

I haven't used it exclusively, and I'm not sure how flexible the app is, but
since the app is built on Eclipse, you might have some luck creating your
own customizations via Eclipse plugins.

Good luck with it!
