Is there a new version of hbm2java to use with Hibernate 3.0?

I downloaded Hibernate Extensions 2.1.3 from this link:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... e_id=85666

And using the example on Page 363 in Hibernate In Action I use a taskdef that uses this class:

net.sf.hibernate.tool.hbm2java.Hbm2JavaTask

When I run this I get the below exception. In hibernate3.jar the MappingException class is in the org.hibernate package (org.hibernate.MappingException). I am guessing I don't have the right version of hbm2java to use with Hibernate 3.x. But I sure haven't been able to find a 3.x version of it.

Ok, I found them. Apparently if you just want to use the ANT tasks you still have to download a 33.1 MB Hibernate-Tools package just to obtain a 279K jar file. Then navigate to:

plugins/org.hibernate.eclipse_3.2.0.beta6a/lib/tools

and there is the new hibernate-tools.jar file.

Because downloading a package that seems targeted to Eclipse so I can obtain the ANT task so I can use it through Intellij <sarcasm>makes perfect sense</sarcasm>.

How about just making hibernate-tools.jar available as a standalone download?

Ok, so to use the hibernatetool ANT task you also need the hibernate3.jar that comes bundled with hibernate tools and NOT the hibernate3.jar that comes bundeled with Hibernate itself. This has made for a very frustrating day and this is simply stupid.

How about updating this link with the information that you also need hibernate3.jar from the hibernate tools package (vs the one that comes with core)?

Not everyone uses Eclipse.

You are very welcome to come on board and help maintain seperate packages and explain people which ones you have to download :)

I'll update the docs to be even more specific about the fact that the tools are dependent on the core and the version included in the tools (which currently is a hibernate 3.2 core) is the easiest option to use.

Yeah, just a quick note at the top of the page I linked to mentioning that to use the ANT tasks standalone you need to use hibernate3.jar and that comes in the Hibernate Tools package would probably really help people. I found a couple of other posts from people that had the same issue.

When I wrote all that I had spent a good portion of the day troubleshooting that so I was quite frustrated by the time I posted...I guess that came through in the post...sorry about that:-)

Yap people, that's insane... someone with a deeper knoledgement than myself should try to make clear how to use the ant tasks from outside eclipse...

The docs states where the jars are and how they are used in the taskdefs.

patches to the documentation to make things clearer are always appreciated.

I was getting this error when I accidentally had mapping turned on in my hibernate.cfg.xml file.

Sorry, this post was meant for another response - got mangled up when I registered...
