I don't understand what hibernate has to do with this, since it is an object-relational mapping framework and Frank's proposal is about mapping between CSV data and pojos... We talked about a mapping functionality for csv before. I agree that it is out of scope of what we have currently. but I could imagine to transform csv to a multiproject, that has a core component and a mapping component (and probably more) Frank, the mailing list server will strip any attachments. Can you create a github repository, so we can discuss your proposal in more detail? TIA!
