I'm using Eclipse 3.1 and Hibernate 3.0.

I downloaded the source code from the book Pro Hibernate 3. The ant file
below worked: it generated a little message for each hbm file it created. I
then check the hbm2 directory and confirm the hbm files are there..
However, when I create a new empty eclipse project (v3.1) and run ant from
the cygwin command prompt, it does NOT generate the hbm files. Same java files, almost the same build.xml file. No error
messages, no hbm files, no messages saying it generated the files.

Can someone tell me what is going on ?

Thanks,

Your question is quite wring in this forum. It's better asked in a tools forum, or if you are using XDoclet 1.x in mailing lists from sourceforge project:
http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/xdoclet

Or if you are willing to switch to XD2:
http://xdoclet.codehaus.org
