I have some java files, like tes.java that I want to genetated the .hbm.xml, how do I do this ?
I have downlaod C:\hibernate-2.1.2\hibernate-2.1;then copied my java files that i want to generate the hbm.xml for to C:\hibernate-2.1.2\hibernate-2.1\test\ but no hbm.xml is generated for my java files.
Help.

You will have to generate the hbm files yourself; you can do this based on the examples which come with the documentation and which are quite good; on the other hand, there are some tools available which help you automate this process; i sue middlegen for this purpose, which has a hibernate extention.

Hope it helps, Jan

Starting with the java files you have two possibilitys: Put XDoclet tags in them, and have XDoclet generate the mapping files. Use class2hbm from Hibernate-Extensions, which generates hbms which you can use as a starting point.
