Cooking entities
Now that we're done with the tedious configuration part, we will add our entities to the
project. Some valuable options exist for auto-generating our entities, starting with the
database schema. For example, Eclipse's

that (once a connection has been set up to the database) allows re-
versing your DB schema (or part of it) into Java entities.
