reverse engineer database tables using spring eclipse sts on a spring boot project

Question

I have spring boot project which has dependencies on rest web service, mysql, jdbc and JPA. How do i reverse engineer the database tables and create dao's for those tables using Spring Eclipse sts? I believe it can be done using Spring roo, but can it be done without using Spring roo and by just using Spring eclipse STS.

Answer 1

I didn't find any built in option to reverse engineer the database in spring boot, but the below telosys-tools plugin worked out for me.

Not sure why Spring STS tool doesn't have some thing similar.
