public Interface SourceDescriptor

Known Direct Subinterfaces
org.hibernate.tool.schema.spi.JpaTargetAndSourceDescriptor
Imports
org.hibernate.tool.schema.SourceType
Describes a source for schema create, drop and migrate actions.

If getSourceType indicates that a script should be a source, then getScriptSourceInput identifies the script.

The purpose here is also to allow other back-ends (OGM) by simply describing where to find sources rather than defining the sources themselves. The reason being that ultimately the Java type representing a "DDL command" might be different; e.g., String for JDBC.
