In my build.xml I had the following target so as to create a schema in a specific sql file and it worked.


<taskdef name="schemaexport"
classname="org.hibernate.tool.hbm2ddl.SchemaExportTask"
classpathref="schema.classpath"/>
<target name="schema">
<schemaexport
quiet="no" text="true" drop="no" delimiter=";"
output="schema-export.sql"
config="build/WEB-INF/classes/hibernate.cfg.xml"> </schemaexport>
</target>


Because I am using Hibernate 3 I decided to use the hibernate tools to create the schema so I created the following target:

<taskdef name="schemaexportHibernate3task" classname="org.hibernate.tool.ant.HibernateToolTask"
classpathref="schema.classpath"/
<target name="schemaExportHibernate3">
<hibernatetool destdir=".">
<configuration configurationfile="build/WEB-INF/classes/hibernate.cfg.xml"/>
<hbm2ddl outputfilename="schema-export.ddl" export="false"/>
</hibernatetool>
</target>

However this target is not working and says that it cannot find my *.hbm.xml files. (The classpath is ok) Moreover why do I need a destdir in hibernatetool since I only want to fill the schema-export.ddl and not to generate any other file?

Any clue?
