Database > Entity Import (Create JPA Entities)
If you are building your application on top of an existing database, you can use RapidClipse’s import function to generate all required entities and their DAOs. Based on the imported database metadata, including tables, relations, and other constraints, the Java code for the corresponding entities is generated.
Hibernate data type mapping
The data types used by databases are often very different from corresponding data types in Java, among other things in the designation, structure and value range. During import, all database data types are automatically converted into suitable Java data types (data-type mapping). If certain relations were not or not correctly defined in the database, these must be completed or corrected during the import process.
