I get a NullPointerException when I try to use the Code Generation tool in Eclipse.
This is the first time I've used it, I'm connected to the database OK, selected a couple of tables, hit Run and :

Exception while generating code
Reason: java.lang.NullPointerException <No Message>

Hibernate tools version:
Hibernate tools 3.2.0beta9a
Eclipse 3.3M7

Name and version of the database you are using:
M$ SQLServer 2000

Solved it.

The output directory I chose didn't already exist.

There wasn't an option to create a new one under the "Browse..." button dialog, and I'd presumed it would therefore create it if it didn't exist.
But it doesn't and the error isn't caught. I guess that's a minor bug then.

Thanks and sorry for the interruption,

Ed

fixed in svn.

nice to hear that it runs fine under 3.3M7 - does the editor work too ?
