Guys,

Is there a way to do a JPA reverse engineering in IntelliJ. I tried the JPA reverse engineering in MyEclipse IDE which is mainly to generate the Entity classes from the already existing database schemas. So is there anything similiar to that in IntelliJ?

Actually, I do my reverse engineering at the command-line level myself, using the Apache OpenJPA utility. Never had much luck fighting the IDE plugins, even in Eclipse.

What do you mean by command-line level? I'm looking for ways to automatically generate Entity classes from the already existing database tables and I'm looking for ways to do that using IntelliJ.

I mean quite simply that I don't depend on the IDE to generate the Entity classes. I use the stand-alone java application from the "C:" prompt, if you want to call it that.

I don't regenerate classes very often, so it's not worth making an IDE function of it to me. IDE's are supposed to help me, not be a crutch I have to lean on for every little thing.

See this. It's is an Ant task, and can thus be driven from within IntelliJ.
