Draw Database Schema based on JPA entities in IntelliJ

Then follow this steps:

Answer 2

IntelliJ (ultimate edition) can generate an ER diagram, without any additional plugins. It's available from the context menu in the "Persistence" pane.

To get that pane, you'll need to add a "JPA" facet to your module first.

Answer 3

pre-requisite to get "ER Diagram" entry in the context menu :

• ultimate version (seems not be available into the "Community version")
• JPA Facet onto the module
• UML Plugin activated (files/other settings/configure plugins ; this plugin enables diagrams)
  • then Right clic onto the "persistenceUnit" into the "Persistence" tool windows

I just add this comment into the official documentation (comment awaiting moderation).
