I too wrote my own crappy (anti)ORM-like library a few years back as well https://github.com/agentgt/jirm . The most notably difference from other libraries was focusing on immutable objects and embracing real SQL (not a DSL like jOOQ) using a better SQL template language (instead of the JDBC '?')
https://github.com/agentgt/jirm/blob/master/jirm-core/README... . I guess the closest library would be MyBatis.
The problem with writing your own library is the massive and continuous support that is required. This is where I eventually gave in and used jOOQ. Its an extremely well maintained and documented library. People complain about it not being completely opensource but neither is intellij so I don't have a problem (as well I also only use opensource databases).
