- Ability to import existing database (Reverse Engineering)
- Export to various formats (Java, Excel, PNG and HTML)
- DDL generation

Hi
I checked it out and it looks great…
But, I cannot get the Java code export to work.
Maybe I am doing something wrong or I have not set something up correctly.
Any ideas?
I’m on Mac OSX.

Very cool tool, however useless on OS X as the Export to Java doesn’t seem to work when you “Ok” to make it go…
