Actually you are reading the Ant cgen docs. Ant task parameters are case insensitive. The Maven plugin docs are here and this page correctly shows the name as "superTemplate": http://cayenne.apache.org/doc/maven2-cgen.html > What I can't determine is what I should put in that tag to have it use my > template instead of the default template.

I haven't used it in a while, but it should be something like this: <configuration> <superTemplate >${project.build.sourceDirectory}/../templates/mytemplate.vm</superTemplate> </configuration> ${project.build.sourceDirectory} is equal to "yourproject/src/main/java", and the above assumes you put your templates under "yourproject/src/main/templates". The location is arbitrary of course. Andrus
