I just built the hibernate3.jar from CVS and I am using hibernate-tools.jar from version 2.1.2 from Source Forge. I am getting :

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: net/sf/hibernate/MappingException
at net.sf.hibernate.tool.hbm2java.Hbm2JavaTask.processFile(Hbm2JavaTask.
java:145)
at net.sf.hibernate.tool.hbm2java.Hbm2JavaTask.execute(Hbm2JavaTask.java
:95)

This is because the MappingException is now under org/hibernate/MappingException

Where do I get the latest hibernate-tools.jar that is compatible with Hibernate3. I have already tried this link for HibernateExt and it does not build the hibernate-tools.jar

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/h ... ernateExt/

Any help would be appreciated.

hbm2java is not complete for hibernate3 - yet.

Best solution at the moment is to use hbm2java with hibernate2.jar and just make it go crazy on hbm.xml files....it will work for most hbm.xml files - except if it uses new exotic hibernate3 features ;9
