Hibernate version:
3.0 alpha 1 tool

I installed eclipse 3.1 M4
JBoss IDE 1.4.1
Copied the 3 directories that come in plugins directory of 3.0 alpha 1 into eclipse plugins directory.
Started Eclipse , but couldn't find Hibernate options.

Any pointers ?

Heh, eclipse does'nt make it easy to find.

* the .hbm.xml editor is just an Editor, and you can find it in the "associate editors" preferences

* the reverse engineering stuff is in New...

* Hibernate console is a perspective

Thanks Gavin.

Agree Eclipse doesn't make it easy, right now it doesn't seem to the problem I have.

When I do Help | About
and click on Plug-in details , I dont' find the Hibernate plugin. I can see the JBoss IDE one though.

Is there any extra config steps that I need to do, to get it going ? (other than the ones I mentioned).

thanks

I had the same problem and i solved it by removing the junit plugin from the plugin directory (i found this solution by accident). After restarting Eclips, the Hibernate plugins are active. Unforunately, now the junit plugin is unavailable, also after adding it again to the plugin directory.
Maybe some conflict between the junit and hibernate plugins?

there should not be any conflicts....they run fine here side by side.

I had been get the same problem!

But now ,it work right!

You can try this way to solve it !

1)Make sure eclipse version is 3.1M4
2)Make sure the jboss ide version is JBossIDE-1.4.1-e30.zip
3)Make sure the hibernate tools plug in version is 3.0alpha1

If all is ok,
you can install it to eclipse,
install jbosside first,and unzip the hibernate tools plug in.
or follow the install instruction from http://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/tools/

or

Quote:

2. Requirements

Install Eclipse 3.1M4 (http://www.eclipse.org)
Install JBoss Eclipse IDE 1.4.x - required for the mapping file editor (http://www.jboss.org/)

After you have downloaded the Hibernate Tools for Eclipse, unpack and copy the plugins to your Eclipse plugins directory. You will also need JDBC drivers for your database available to use the reverse engineering and querying support.

Please note that these tools do not try to hide any functionality of Hibernate. The tools make working with Hibernate easier, but you are still encouraged/required to read the documentation for Hibernate to fully utilize Hibernate.
