I am using latest version of plugin for Eclipse (beta5). I was able to follow documentation and create hibernate.cfg.xml file and enter all nesessary information for Hibernate console generation.
Using reverse enginering, I was able to create classes and mapping file from my Oracle schema.
The problem is I do not see Hibernate Console configuration in a project tree view.
So there is no way for me to see Hibernate Console perspective - it simply not there.
when I try Run/Hibernate Code Generation/MyConfiguration - the following printed in .log file:

!ENTRY org.hibernate.eclipse 2 30000 2006-05-31 12:15:09.497
!MESSAGE WARN Worker-46 org.hibernate.tool.hbm2x.template - org.apache.velocity.
runtime.exception.ReferenceException: reference : template = doc/entities/entity
.vm [line 140,column 40] : $compoclass.getJavaTypeName($propertyIdentifier, $jdk
5 ) is not a valid reference.

Thanks

Hibernate Console Configuraitons is not in the project tree view, it is in the Hibenrate Console Configuraitons view which is opened automatically if you go to the hibernate console Perspective....

and btw. you are *not* using the latest version since the latest version uses FreeMarker and your stacktrace is from Velocity.

The problem is that Hibenrate Console Configuraitons view does not open automatically at all. I follow tools documentation where whey have examples with Eclipse, but can not get to Hibernate Console Perspective. It's simply not there.

any chance you are using MyEclipse which bundles are crippled version of hibernate tools?

I don't think so. I downloaded eclipse from their web site.
Eclipse SDK

Version: 3.1.2
Build id: M20060118-1600

I upgraded hibernate tools as well:
Hibernate Core plug-in 3.1.0beta5
Hibernate console 3.1.0.beta5

And you do not have a the following ?

Main menu -> Window/Open Perspective/Other.../Hibernate Console Perspective

?

Hi Max,
I was new to eclipse and could not locate this perspective windows. sorry for silly question. But when I open this item, I got another error:
Problems occurred when invoking code from plug-in: "org.eclipse.jface".
I think it is probably related to my local JDK configuration.

Eugene,

Did you ever get a resolution to this problem? If you see my post from today, you will see that I am getting the _exact_ same stack trace.

Regards,
Ed

me too is not able to make HibTools to work with latest eclipse. Console crashes with the errors.
And yes, previously I was never able to get Hibernate mapping editor to work. Not coz it does not work, but coz there is no any word written how to get it work in the first place. Which menu items activates the editor exactly. Coz each hbm.xml file is not associated with any specific editor.

could it be that we don't need to explain how to double click on the file since we are simply enhancing the standard WTP xml editor ? :)

just open the file...
