Support dynamic configuration of code generator

[sgrimm]

Having to pass an XML config file to jOOQ makes it hard to dynamically compute values in the jOOQ configuration such as absolute paths of output directories; you end up needing to generate the XML file before calling the plugin.

The officially-blessed jooq Gradle plugin supports dynamic configuration of the code generator. So one solution would be if Jooq-Modelator could optionally delegate the codegen step to that plugin, while still managing the migrations and the Docker container.

Or perhaps the plugin could allow the build script to supply a generator config object constructed using jOOQ's programmatic configuration API.

Hello sgrimm,

thank you for your input. This indeed could be useful. I'm not sure when I will find the time to work on such a feature. If you want to contribute, I'm happy to help, and I do accept pull-requests.

There is a plugin similar to jooq-modelator which does support the dynamic configuration you are looking for. Maybe this can solve your problem? Here is the link.
