Take a look at databene benerator, a test data generator that looks close to your requirements.

• it can generate data for an existing table definition (or even anonymize production data)
• it can generate larges data set (unlimited size)
• it supports various input (CSV, Flat Files, DBUnit) and output format (CSV, Flat Files, DBUnit, XML, Excel, Scripts)
• it can be used on the command line or through a maven plugin
• it's open source and customizable

I would give it a try.

BTW, a list of similar products is available on databene benerator's web site.
