Hi,

Below is the build file I used.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0"?>

<project name="Project-db-hibernate-tools" basedir=".">

<property name="hibernate.tools.home" value="D:/Testing/eclipse/plugins/org.hibernate.eclipse_3.1.0.beta1/lib"/>
<path id="hibernate.class.path">
<pathelement location="${hibernate.tools.home}/tools/velocity-1.4.jar"/>

</fileset>
<fileset dir="D:/Testing/tomcat-5.0.28/common/lib">

</fileset>

</path>

<taskdef name="hibernatetool" classname="org.hibernate.tool.ant.HibernateToolTask" classpathref="hibernate.class.path"/>


<hibernatetool destdir="D:/Testing/eclipse-ws/Project-db/temp">
<classpath> <!-- a classpath is optional, but needed for exporters that require access to domain classes etc. -->
<path location="D:/Testing/eclipse-ws/Project-db/build/bin/"/>
</classpath>
<configuration configurationfile="D:/Testing/eclipse-ws/Project-db/src/hibernate.cfg.xml" >
<fileset dir="D:/Testing/eclipse-ws/Project-db/src"> <!-- A configuration can take a configurationfile and/or a fileset of hbm.xml's -->
<include name="**/*.xml"/>
</fileset>
</configuration>

<hbm2java/>
</hibernatetool>
</project>



The following exception is thrown after the executing the build file. What's the problem? Thanks a lot.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buildfile: D:\Testing\eclipse-ws\Project-db\ant\build-2.xml
[hibernatetool] Executing Hibernate Tool with a Standard Configuration

BUILD FAILED
D:\Testing\eclipse-ws\Project-db\ant\build-2.xml:26: org.hibernate.tool.hbm2x.ExporterException: Velocity engine could not be initialized

Total time: 2 seconds

try putting velocity-tools-generic-1.1.jar in the classpath ... should come w/ the tools distribution. if this doesn't work, post the output after running ant w/ -debug .

Thank you very much for the prompt reply.
I made a typo "velocity-tools-generic-1.1.jar" to "velocity-tools-generic-1.4.jar".
