@Column annotation is not always generated by the wizard Generate Entities from Tables. I am almost sure that the annotation is only missing for columns where all rows have null value in them. Can I turn off this annoying "feature" somewhere?

The @Column annotation is not generated when the default column name matches the actual column name in the database. So the attribute "city" would not need a @Column annotation if the column it mapped was named "CITY". The Dali validation will tell you when the two don't match, and you need a @Column annotation to override the default value.

Thank you for answering my stupid question. The next time I will spend more time by reading the documentation first...
