Deprecate and remove option to run Metadata "disconnected"

beberlei commented 3 years ago

With the deprecation removal of EntityGenerator and all convert mapping commands scheduled for ORM 3.0 the question is about how this is used in related packages and what we should plan to suggest as a way forward.

DoctrineBundle uses DisconnectedMetadataFactory for Symfony based convert mapping commands and entity generator.
Symfony Maker Bundle uses disconnected metadata: https://github.com/symfony/maker-bundle/blob/1b6861f8d21c153ea8fd9a02292e1d4d44d19eb5/src/Doctrine/DoctrineHelper.php#L135

Essentially code generation for both database reverse engineering and as regular code generation for RAD should be built without relying on ClassMetadata in the future and instead build their own meta model or go directly for code generation based on inputs.

Can you give some input or state your objections @ostrolucky @greg0ire @weaverryan ?

No objections on my end 👍 No input either, I haven't been using RAD or reverse engineering in ages :neutral_face:

I don't have opinion on this. I don't even know why are we removing entity generation feature.

doctrine / orm
