Best way of automating hibernate development in IntellijIDEA

Hibernate version:3.1

I am a great fan of Intellij Idea. After trying several IDEs, like eclipse, jdeveloper, sun java studio and creator, I found that the great performance of this ide is unique.
But the problem is that currently there is very few plug-ins for this environment, specially for hibernating!
Please let me know, if there is a good way for speeding up our hibernate development works, by automating some tasks, just like HibernateSynchronizer and other similar tools on eclipse platform do it.
If there is not such tools for IDEA, what is the most effective approach? I already read Christian's opinion, who suggests using xdoclet. But I'm looking for more automation. A solution that reads my tables, and intelligently generates hbm.xml files and dao files.

Best Regards,

tools.hibernate.org

and xdoclet is not what we recommend anymore, but Annotations.

Thank you Max for reply. Do you mean using Ant tasks inside IDEA?

Downloaded files for tools.hibernate.org just contain eclipse plug-ins or I'm missing something?
Thanks in advance,
