I went for the proposed intermediary step to avoid breaking the API of SchemaManagementTool and its delegates. If you have a way for not breaking the API or think breaking it is alright, then +1 for doing the ProperSolution™ in 5.1.
What would it comprise, changing the delegate methods such as doCreate() to expect a single parameter object providing all the required info? Target could be a part of this, just an enum probably, based on wich delegates would do their thing. If it's that, I can try and help out with it. Regarding the release schedule, I'd personally be fine with pushing it a bit back, but then I don't know whether there are any other hard timelines to be met. 2016-01-19 16:25 GMT+01:00 Steve Ebersole <st...@hibernate.org>: > I'd like to get this work into 5.1.
