I am trying the hibernate code generation using the UI (not through ant task) and clicked on hibernate code generation from eclipse menu and checked "Use Custom Templates" option. then i specified the Template Directory as "\MyProject\config" where i have stored all ftl templates (i have modified some of them for my requirements)

After i run the code generation none of the changes i made to the template are there in the generated code.

for example in pojo.ftl, i added copyright information as follows... But in the generated code i dont see this data...

Do i have to include the directory containing the templates in the classpath or something.

Please help.

${pojo.getPackageDeclaration()}

// Generated by Hibernate Tools ${version}

<#assign classbody>
<#include "PojoTypeDeclaration.ftl"/> {

<#if !pojo.isInterface()>

<#include "PojoFields.ftl"/>

<#include "PojoConstructors.ftl"/>

<#include "PojoPropertyAccessors.ftl"/>

<#include "PojoToString.ftl"/>

<#include "PojoEqualsHashcode.ftl"/>

<#else>
<#include "PojoInterfacePropertyAccessors.ftl"/>

</#if>
<#include "PojoExtraClassCode.ftl"/>

}
</#assign>

${pojo.generateImports()}
${classbody}

the files should be placed like this (for pojo/hbm2java generation):

<templatepath>/pojo/*.ftl

which in your case is /MyProject/config/pojo/*.ftl
