+<p>Ibator is a code generator for iBATIS.
+ Ibator will introspect a database
table (or many tables) and will generate iBATIS artifacts that can be used to
access the table(s). This abates some of the initial nuisance of setting up objects and configuration
- files to interact with database tables. iBATOR seeks to make a major impact on the large
+ files to interact with database tables. Ibator seeks to make a major impact on the large
percentage of database operations that are simple CRUD (Create, Retrieve, Update, Delete). You will
still need to hand code SQL and objects for custom queries, or stored procedures.

-<h2>iBATOR Development</h2>
-<p>iBATOR is currently under development. iBATOR will not be 100% compatible with
- Abator, but will be very close. Known differences include:
- <ul>
- <li>iBATOR requires JRE version 5.0 or higher</li>
- <li>iBATOR generates code that depends on iBATIS version 2.2.0 or higher</li>
- <li>iBATOR does not include the Legacy generator set from Abator</li>
- <li>The format of the XML configuration file is slightly different and abator* elements
- are renamed to ibator*.</li>
- </ul>
-
- <p>The code generated by iBATOR will be 100% compatible with code generated by
- Abator. We are simply taking this opportunity to clean up some of the API that
- is a little cumbersome.</p>
+<h2>Ibator Software Downloads and Documentation</h2>
+<p>Download the standalone JAR if you are using an IDE other than Eclipse. The
+ standalone JAR includes an Ant task to run Ibator, or you can run Ibator from the command
+ line of from Java code.</p>

+<p>Documentation for the core functions of Ibator is available online. This documentation

+<h2>Eclipse Plugin</h2>
+
+<p>When run as an Eclipse plugin, Ibator will persist the generated Java classes and SqlMap files
+ in Eclipse projects. Ibator can be run iteratively multiple time as the database design matures
+- and any hand coded additions to generated Java classes or SqlMap files will remain undisturbed.</p>

+<p>Documentation for Ibator is integrated into the Eclipse help system.</p>
+<h3>Requirements</h3>
+<ul>
+ <li>Eclipse 3.4.1 or higher (Note: if you are stuck with prior versions, then the legacy
+ Abator code is still available - see below)</li>
+ <li>JDK 5.0 or Higher</li>
+</ul>
+<h3>Automatic Eclipse Install</h3>
+<p>Use the built in Eclipse install support by following these steps:</p>
+<ol>
+ <li>Take the "Help>Software Updates..." Menu Option</li>
+ <li>Select the "Available Software" Tab</li>
+ <li>Press the "Add Site" button</li>
+ <li>Enter the following information:
+ <dl>
+ <dt>Location:</dt>
