Please forgive me, this is probably a stupid/obvious question, but I have searched around for the last 2 days and am stuck...

I am rather new to Hibernate and Ant, and I have been trying to get hbm2java to work as an automated Ant process. I found this information here: http://www.hibernate.org/98.html about setting up hbm2java as an optional ant task. I added this to my hbm2java target in my build.xml:

<taskdef
name="hbm2java"
classname="net.sf.hibernate.tool.hbm2java.CodeGenerator"
classpathref="hbm.classpath"
/>

<hbm2java
output="${javaoutput.dir}"
>
<fileset dir="${mappingoutput.dir}">
<include name="**/*.hbm.xml"/>
</fileset>
</hbm2java>

However, I get this error:
BUILD FAILED
file:C:/java/Middlegen-Hibernate-r2/build.xml:308: No public execute() in class net.sf.hibernate.tool.hbm2java.CodeGenerator

I am pretty sure that is because I need to code up an Ant task for hbm2java. Is this included somewhere in the Hibernate-2.0.3 files or in the tools files, or do I need to write this myself? Also, where would I put that Hbm2javaTask class file?

Thanks so much,

Great! My hibernate-tools.jar (downloaded from sourceforge) was not the right one... was missing the Hbm2JavaTask class. It works now.

Thanks so much!

Btw, for anyone else who has this problem... make sure you get the hibernate-tools.jar from the examples on the site listed above, and this was the final version of my build.xml target:

<taskdef name="hbm2java" classname="net.sf.hibernate.tool.hbm2java.Hbm2JavaTask">
<classpath refid="hbm.classpath" />
</taskdef>

<hbm2java
output="${javaoutput.dir}"
>
<fileset dir="${mappingoutput.dir}">
<include name="**/*.hbm.xml"/>
</fileset>
</hbm2java>

I downloaded at SourceForge the most recent hibernate-extensions-2.0.zip that contains hibernate-tools.jar, but It doesn't have any Hbm2JavaTask!
Where else can I find it?
Would you mind if you send me by email this hibernate-tools.jar?
Thanks in advance.

You can also find that hibernate-tools.jar in the lib directory of the sample source code, here: http://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/examp ... /java/lib/
