UserType - actual type doesn't appear in generated class

I was told this was a Tools issue so here goes:

Hibernate version:3

I attempted to follow the UserType example in "Hibernate: A Developer's Notebook" to implement my own UserType...

I can supply code if it would help but my question is a simple one:

In the mapping document the UserType classname is used (type="myClassType" let's say)

but when I generate code from the mapping doc the properties that use the "myClassType" appear as "myClassType" not as "myClass"

i.e.

Code:

private myClassType myproperty;

instead of

Code:

private myClass myproperty;

I thought my UserType was set up correctly and that this section of code was supposed to deal with this issue:

Code:

public Class returnedClass() { 
           return myClass.class; 
       }//end Class

(if I go through and manually replace "myClassType" with "myClass" in the generated code, everything seems to work [at least querying FROM the database] but that requires manually fixing it EVERY time I generate code)

Has there been some kind of change from version 2 to version 3 that would cause this?

P.S. Also my Hibernate Configuration in Eclipse is complaining about the "myClassType" - but I don't know how to fix THAT one manually[/code]

tp allow the tools to use a class (the usertype class) that class has to be in the classpath.

for ant it is done via <classpath> and in the plugins by adding it to the console configuration classpath.
