Class Map Generator for Fluent NHibernate

Is there a Class Map generator for Fluent NHibernate? I need something like db2hbm but I want it to generate Fluent Class Maps instead of xml mappings.

I am aware of AutoMapping for Fluent but that is not what I want. I want to be able to generate Class Map files from tables in database and push them to my src repository.

IMHO if you work in the direction DB->classes you're better off with hbm than fluent-nh. FNH is more intended to infer your schema from your classes. – Mauricio Scheffer
I c ur point, but in some apps it turns out that u need to go from db->class model (u do not have control over all decisions made) but at the same time u want to have best of two worlds. U want to generate ur domain model classes from db scheme and have ur persistence layer w/ FNH. Tnx for the comment though. – kaptan

You can do this with NHibernate Mapping Generator.

You can do this with Visual NHibernate. Check the Fluent Nhibernate option on the Options screen to create FNH mapping code.

LLBLGen Pro is a great tool that can do this and much more. It´s not free, but it´s worth every cent.

This is the closest thing I've come across (T4 Templates example to generate Fluent NH mappings): http://www.pnpguidance.net/Post/SampleFluentNHibernateT4TemplatesCodeGenerationLINQToSQL.aspx
