Is it possible to generate objects from an existing database model in JHipster?

Question

Is there a way to generate entities from an existing database model or do I need to create all entities with yoman (yo) myself?

I heard about this technique from the Spring Roo project.

Answer 1

no, you cannot, because the jhipster yeoman generator "only" aligns objects according to the patterns + given parameters / options. At this point, it does not query external sources such as databases.
