It was easier than throwing a dozen books at him in the hope that he'd read from them what I intended he should.

In particular, the [link\|http://www.codegeneration.net/files/JavaOne_OnePageGuide_v1.pdf\|Code Generation: The One Page Guide] states Why are there more code generators for Java than all the other technology companies combined? Java is very popular but that is not the sole reason. Java is easy to generate, and the class libraries for Java tend to be code-intensive to use. Engineers understand that they can work smarter rather than harder in the Java environment by using code generation. What it does not say, is that developer could work even smarter by choosing a tool that gave them better results with less work. [1]Blanchard's Law states that any tool or language which encourages the developer to resort to code generation is insufficiently powerful for the task at hand.

For the most part I agree, but the weaknesses and inconsistencies on the database language side means you usually have to put up with code generation. Me, I hate even having those wizards that attempt to shell out the beginnings of code.
