Release Notes

*** Hibernator - Hibernate plugin for Eclipse ***

Provides an Eclipse to common Hibernate tasks such as Creating / Updating a Database Schema, running Hibernate queries and creating simple Hibernate Mapping documents

Note this plugin will only work with Eclipse 2 (WSAD 5) and above. Queries and Schema features are Hibernate2 only

* Installation

- Unzip hibernator-0.9.x.zip into
- Restart Eclipse

- If you downloaded hibernator-0.9.x-nolibs.zip then you will need to add the following .jars that come with Hibernate
- xml-apis.jar
- xerces.jar
- commons-beanutils.jar
- commons-collections.jar
- commons-lang.jar
- commons-logging.jar
- dom4j.jar
- hibernate2.jar
- odmg.jar
- cglib-asm.jar
- log4j.jar

* Connecting to a Database

- Open Hibernate Perspective
- Right click in connection view and select "Add"
- Select one or more projects from the list (All *.hbm.xml documents in the selected projects are Configured into Hibernate)
- Click next and enter the Database details (I will change this so you can select a hibernate.properties file instead)
- Click finish
- Click on the Hibernate Log View
- Select and right click on the new connection. Click on "Connect!"
- Confirm the mappings and connection are ok in the Log View

- Simply hit "Connect!" on any other connections to prepare them for Query or Schema Update/Create


* Running a query

- Make sure you have created and connected to a database as above
- Type your query into the "Query View" and hit "Execute"
- Not the table of results in the "Results View" or any errors in the "Log View"


* Updating / Creating Schema

- Make sure you have created and connected to a database as above
- Click on Create or Update Schema in the "Query View"
- Note the results in the "Log View"


* Creating a simple mapping document

- Go to menu Window->Show View->Other and select Hibernator
- Open up some Java source and the plugin will either display the mapping file .hbm.xml or a generated version
- To save the contents of the mapping file right click in the window and select "Save"

Its looking really nice, from what I can see ...

but:




Whenever I try to "Add".

Yes I must tighten up the validation on the wizard. I think you haven't selected a dialect (used for the update/create schema)

Actually, I did select everything....

Oh.

Hmmmm. I'll sleep on it :)

Thanks

Having no problem to connect, but disconnecting is harder. (There is no [connection]-->right click->"Disconnect" option)
:-)

Maybe an explicit disconnect would be good. What actually happens now is if you connect again it will just disconnect any previous connection if one existed.

I get the same thing, both in Eclipse 3.0M4, and 2.1.1. Everything is selected properly, using Oracle dialect.

Funnily enough, when I tried to demonstrate this problem to Daniel in Starbucks yesterday, I couldn't reproduce it. Strange.

Maybe it was just thriving in the capitalist atmosphere

Damn straight.
