A lot of Java projects have quite complex database schemas in the backend. Although, using object-relational mapping it can be useful to have a deeper understanding of such a schema, e.g. when writing CRUD tests. There are a lot of entity relationship modeling tools out there, doing a pretty good job. But, most of them are also quite expensive. Here's another example of what the OpenSource community has to offer for enterprise projects.

SchemaSpy is a rock solid product. I've used it for a couple of years now to document multiple Oracle and SQL Server schemas. I've never used the GUI tool but we have it scripted and scheduled to run every weekend to keep our online documentation up to date. I had an issue once (my mistake) on upgrading the software and the author was quick to respond. Highly recommended.
