             Summary: Stripping common name prefixes on reverse engineering
                 Key: CAY-2130
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAY-2130
             Project: Cayenne
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: Non-GUI Tools
            Reporter: Andrus Adamchik
            Assignee: Andrus Adamchik


Often table namespacing in a database is done by prepending a common prefix to table names. Would be nice to be able to clean up the names before we make java names for them. E.g. transform "myt_table1" into "Table1", "XyzTable1" also into "Table1". Looks like what we need is a sed-like expression. E.g. in maven config form:

{noformat}
<nameFilter>s/^myt_//i</nameFilter>
{noformat}

The problem is that Java Pattern can't directly parse such expressions. May need to use  a third-party library like https://github.com/tools4j/unix4j or similar.
