When I try to use the Hibernate Console I get an error in a pop up that states the following:

Internal error occured during: "Fetching children of [console name]"

Any ideas on what I can do to fix or get around this?


Eclipse version:

Eclipse 3.1.0

Hibernate version:

hibernate-3.0.5

Hibernate Tools version:

hibernate-tools-3-1-0.alpha5

hibernate.cfg.xml:

Name and version of the database you are using:

Oracle 9i

In the "hibernate console configuration" make sure you added the driver for your database to the "classpath" section.

It turns out that I did not have my hbm files as part of the Java Build Path in my project properties of eclipse. It would be nice if a better exception was surfaced.
