About five years ago, I liked Data Architect (in Sybase Power Designer) quite a lot. It did most of what you describe above, very well. It's support for Java classes was limited, and it was beyond the price range you mention. You might want to take a look at it anyway. Received on Tue Jan 10 2006 - 06:38:50 CST
