When I use MyEclipse to generate my data objects. The problem I am having is that it does not appear to translate the MySQL5.1 datetime to the correct TemporalType of TIMESTAMP.

If I have a field name of start_date I get the following:

@Temporal(TemporalType.DATE)
@Column(name = "START_DATE", length = 0)
public Date getStartDate() {
return this.startDate;
}

I then have to manually change this to TemporalType.TIMESTAMP. If I don't do this I get an error during validation of the following:

[java] Caused by: org.hibernate.HibernateException: Wrong column type in sagepoint.task for column START_DATE. Found: datetime, expected: date
[java] at org.hibernate.mapping.Table.validateColumns(Table.java:284)

I would prefer to not to have to make the manual conversion to TIMESTAMP.

Your help is appreciated.

Thanks,
