Perhaps worth the price though? Their models were built using EMF...

Yes, there's free technology available for that as well.

You mean the Ecore Tools editor? It's really very nice.

You should have a close look at Teneo.
http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/?project=teneo
Martin has been working with the EclipseLink guys to provide integration
with that.

Hi Tom,
If you're looking for a full JEE stack generation, the Acceleo.org project
is providing tooling using stereotyped UML and generating DAO, DTO, and
Struts from that.
http://www.acceleo.org/pages/modules-repository/
The project is now moving to the Eclipse servers, but took that chance to
re-implement the core technologies from scratch, the JEE module has not been
ported to this new implementation so far :

I'm actually only looking for a simple proof of concept to start, just the data/domain objects and data access objects and some persistence tool (like JPA hibernate or whatever, at this stage I am just researching whats possible)
I've installed (well I appear to have 2 versions of Acceleo installed, with 2 perspectives, so I guess I have done something weird) Acceleo and am working through the docs.
Are the Acceleo and JET stuff similar?, I noticed they both provide a sort of template based code generation
Cheers,
Tom

Tom,
The Ecore Tools project provides a more polished Ecore editor and the
basic example on in GMF.
It's possible to import an Ecore model from UML and then take advantage
of all the technology based on Ecore, including the code generator of
course. The steps are the same as in the basic tutorials, except you
choose UML in the wizard instead of XML Schema or Annotated Java.
