對初接觸者來說，到底如何開始使用abator，資源比較少，本文記載了我今日初次使用的過程，希望對和我一樣的初學者有所幫助

???? Eclipse可以自動的進行Update獲取此Plugin，官方的安裝步驟

Automatic Eclipse Install

If you've already installed a prior version of Abator, simply run the Eclipse Install/Update tool and the new version will be found automatically.

If you've not already installed Abator, then you can use the built in Eclipse install support by following these steps:

1. Take the "Help>Software Updates>Find and Install" Menu Option
2. Select the "Search for new features to install" radio button, press "Next"
3. Press the "New Remote Site" button
4. Enter the following information:

   Name:

   Abator for Eclipse Update Site

   URL:

   http://ibatis.apache.org/tools/abator

5. Press OK
6. Check the box next to "Abator for Eclipse Update Site"
7. Follow the remainder of the install wizard

2、安裝好后將在New菜單中看到一個新的文件類型Abator for iBATIS Configuration File，此是Abator的配置文件，配置文件的詳細說明見http://ibatis.apache.org/docs/tools/abator/

3、新建一個配置文件，進行修改，根據自己的實際需求進行修改
關鍵點：
1）jdbcconnection，按照一般的配置即可，需要說明的是它需要指定訪問JdbcDriver的classPathEntry，對于MsSqlServer而言，要將這三個jar文件均包含在內，否則會出現jdbc訪問錯誤。
2）配置三個Pakage
3）配置表，此處需說明的是對于MsSqlServer不能寫TableSchema，我初次指定TableSchema，結果未找到對應的表
簡單的配置如下，復雜的見配置文件的詳細說明。示例配置文件如下
<abatorConfiguration>
? <abatorContext>??? <!-- TODO: Add Database Connection Information -->
??? <jdbcConnection driverClass="com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver"
??????? connectionURL="jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://localhost:1433;DatabaseName=whm;SelectMethod=cursor"
??????? userId="sa"
??????? password="sa">
????? <classPathEntry location="C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Tomcat 5.0/common/lib/mssqlserver.jar" />
????? <classPathEntry location="C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Tomcat 5.0/common/lib/msutil.jar" />
????? <classPathEntry location="C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Tomcat 5.0/common/lib/msbase.jar" />
??? </jdbcConnection>

??? <javaModelGenerator targetPackage="com.dwerp.itatis.domain" targetProject="BhbManage" />
??? <sqlMapGenerator targetPackage="com.dwerp.itatis.persistence.xml" targetProject="BhbManage" />
??? <daoGenerator type="IBATIS" targetPackage="com.dwerp.itatis.persistence.sqlmapdao" targetProject="BhbManage" />

??? <table tableName="BHBGL">
????
??? </table>

? </abatorContext>
</abatorConfiguration>

4、右鍵單擊配置文件，點擊Generate iBatis Artifacts，生成文件。
