When I try to do a reversed engineering trough artifact generation, i keep getting the same error:

Message: Error under artifact generation

Stack Trace:

java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.hibernate.eclipse.console.wizards.ArtifactGeneratorWizard$2.execute(Unknown Source)
at org.hibernate.console.execution.DefaultExecutionContext.execute(Unknown Source)

Any suggestions anyone? I configured the configuration files right, no problem there, i managed to connect to the database trough my database driver.

Here too... The mentioned version causes this error.

- Eclipse 3.2
- Hibernate Tools 3.1 beta 1
- JDK 1.4.2
- MacOS X 10.3

*bangsHeadIntoWall*

Now it works...

It did not work as I tried to generate those files into the projectRoot (in my case the project is called "Test").

But it works if those files are generated into "Test/bin" or "Test/src"(!!!)

I am curious why it does not work to use "Test" as the output directory. Why do I have to use "Test/bin" or "Test/src"?

And: I am happy that artifact generation is working now. :)

aah - root of project as output. its such a distant concept for me that i never tested that...i guess we should fix/allow that...please put it in jira.

I tested a few Hibernate Plugins for Eclipse... and one of them puts these files into the project root... That's why I tried it with Hibernate Tools...

I thought, that Hibernate Tools knows where it should put the generated files...

what do you mean by the last sentence ? It is you who control where it puts the files...

And why would you like to mix your .class files with .java files ...gets messy.

In any case, open a jira request for it.
