Generating a single Entity from existing database using symfony2 and doctrine

for **Symfony 3**

To generate the entities for a new "Group" table

```bash
php bin/console doctrine:mapping:import "App\Entity" annotation --path=src/AppBundle/Entity --filter Group
```

--filter works with entity name, not table name !
php bin/console doctrine:mapping:import "App\Entity" annotation --path=config/doctrine --filter="YourEntity"

Since 2019 doctrine has deprecated the reserve-engineering functionality, and it is therefore not recommended to use it any more. Instead, [Symfony recommends to use make:entity from the Symfony Maker Bundle instead][1].
