hi there,

im having some trouble getting hibernate started.
im currently developing a RCP application with the eclipse framework. my project contains several plugins. there is one plugin for hibernate setup and configuration:

PluginA

that plugin is used by another plugin setting up database specific data:

PluginB

now i load a mapping file from PluginB - that works. now hibernate (PluginA) tries to get the class from the mapping file, just loaded. that doesnt work, cause PluginA doesnt know the PluginB.

does someone know, if
a) hibernate can be configured, to use a specific classloader to load the classes
b) eclipse can be configured, so that hibernate gets a classloader, which finds the class files in all source folders of all plugins?

regards

I think this might be more of a question for the Eclipse forum. I think you need to look at plugin dependencies.
