Eclipse is one of the best designed Java applications I can think of. I havn’t really inspected the architecture, but from a users point of view it is excellent to be able to download plugins adds so much functionality and sometimes almost transforms it into a complete new application. Managebility has an article with some good pointers about the design here.

A short article with some details of Hibernate Schema Management can be found here. We used this in a previous project of mine, but had some problems with the update task. I think it was a problem with Hibernate and PostgreSQL.
