generate toString()

Is there a way to force hbm2java to generate toString() methods in POJOs generated? Is it possible to configure Eclipse Hibernate plugin to do so?

Thanks.

put a <meta attribute="use-in-tostring">true</meta> in hbm.xml for the fields you want to use in tostring

Is there a way to configure it in one place and force all fields to be printed out in toString() by default?

put in the top of the hbm.xml and it will be "inherited", but do note that having that for *all* properties/collections is not very wise since it will basically load all connections recursively when youdecide to call .toString()
