Tasks Reference

Torque uses a single XML database schema to generate the SQL for your target database and Torque's Peer-based object relation model representing your XML database schema. Additionally, an HTML document describing the database can be generated if you wish to make a browseable version of the database schema.

Torque offers a Maven plugin (maven-plugin) that can be used to invoke the generator.

Torque also offers an Ant build file (build-torque.xml) which could be added to your project. It defines the following targets:
