Existing schema.. I have to manually create my Entity classes? about java-sdk HOT 6 CLOSED

There's a code generation module that was released as part of the SDK. This will created properly annotated Java classes based on your existing Salesforce sObjects. Sounds like exactly what you need.

There's a Maven plugin that wraps this modules to (hopefully) make it simple.

Argh! The plugin isn't open sourced so I can't point you at the README. I'm trying to get that done now.

Thanks, it'd be helpful, we have a very complicated data model. And, just to let you know, I'm using this on a 'real' project, not just mucking around. :)

Hi,

We open sourced the Maven plugin today: https://github.com/forcedotcom/maven-force-plugin. Version 22.0.5-BETA of the plugin exists on Maven Central so you should be able to get it from there. The README in the git repo contains information about configuration.

One gotcha is that the plugin relies on version 22.0.5-BETA of the SDK. This version uses the old form of connection urls (with semi-colons, not query parameters). So the connection you provide the plugin will need to conform to the old format. Sorry that is the case, we're going through some pains with changing the url format...

Thank you so much.

I just created the basic skeleton of my data model manually this morning and was dreading the rest, so this is a relief.
