Hibernate version:
3.1beta1
annotation3.1alpha5

I tried to run the hibernatetools ant task <annotationconfiguration> with <cfg2cfgXml> generator. To generate a traditional cfg.xml file to use my annotated classes with the eclipse plugin.

The build failed with the following error msg:
"Problems in creating a AnnotationConfiguration . Have you remembered to add it to the classpath ?"

Well I run ant with debug mode, to make sure, that my classpath is right.
In the trace I have something like:
....
Class java.lang.NoSuchFieldException loaded from parent loader (parentFirst)
Finding class org.hibernate.cfg.AnnotationConfiguration
Loaded from C:\Nils-Daten\Entwicklung\Diplom\lib\hibernate\hibernate-annotations.jar org/hibernate/cfg/AnnotationConfiguration.class
Class org.hibernate.cfg.AnnotationConfiguration loaded from ant loader (parentFirst)
Class org.hibernate.cfg.AnnotationConfiguration loaded from parent loader (parentFirst)
...

So actually it seems, that ant had already loaded the class AnnotationConfiguration

Any Ideas what went wrong?

regards

Nils

You'll get rid of that last NoClassDefFoundError if you put dom4j*.jar in the classpath .

How does one accomplish this? Are you saying you set your logger to DEBUG mode for ant outputs?

you can use the -debug switch

Excellent. Much easier.
