Hi Team,
I am Newbie to Hibernate. I am sucessfully able to genererate hbm files from java. I am trying to generate database schema from generated hbm files. I was stuck up with this problem I spent considerable amount of time solving it but couldnt this is driving me nuts. Could any one please help with this. Thanks in advance

When i run hbm2ddl task from ant it gives me
