I am using hibernate tools eclipse plugin to generate pojo's based on an oracle 10i schema. Everything is working well using a custom reverse engineering strategy. The problem I am currently having is that I am not able to find any table or column comments in the "Table" object. I am using the "ismanyToManyTable" hack to find the currentTable, I then loop through the columns in the table in the columnToMetaAttribute method. All of the comments are NULL even though I can see the comments in the schema via Toad and my DBA assures me they are there.

Any ideas on what could be causing this problem? I have tried a new version of the oracle thin driver, but same problem. Thanks.

Any help here? If it helps, I'm using the hibernatetools-3.2.4.GA eclipse plugin.
