title: Auto generate data schema from JPA annotated entity classes
body: <p>I'm using JPA (Hibernate's implementation) to annotate entity classes to persist to a relational database (MySQL or SQL Server). Is there an easy way to auto generate the database schema (table creation scripts) from the annotated classes?</p>
  
  <p>I'm still in the prototyping phase and anticipate frequent schema changes. I would like to be able to specify and change the data model from the annotated code. Grails is similar in that it generates the database from the domain classes.</p>
