Hy there.
I'm having a problem puting SchemaExport to work.
He doesn't give any error (as the output below shows) and creates the output file "teste.ddl" but with nothing in it (zero length). The weird part is that even when I put some trash in the hibernate.cfg.xml file (for examples, "<mapping resource="xptoCat.hbm.xml"/>") it continues to give me the output below and the "xptoCat.hbm.xml" doesn't even exist.
PROBLEM: why isn't he reading my "mapping resources" in the hibernate.cfg.xml file!?
Please help.

A little test:

---------------
Cat.hbm.xml
---------------

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-mapping PUBLIC
"-//Hibernate/Hibernate Mapping DTD 2.0//EN"
"http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-mapping-2.0.dtd">

<hibernate-mapping>

<class name="Cat" table="cat">
<property name="id" column="cat_id"/>
<property name="name" column="name"/>
<property name="sex" column="sex"/>
</class>

</hibernate-mapping>

--------------------
hibernate.cfg.xml
--------------------

<?xml version='1.0'?>

<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC
"-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 2.0//EN"
"http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-configuration-2.0.dtd">

<hibernate-configuration>
<!-- shared properties -->

<!-- a SessionFactory instance listed as /hibernate/sessionFactory -->
<session-factory name="/hibernate/sessionFactory">

<!-- mapping files -->
<mapping resource="Cat.hbm.xml"/>

</session-factory>

</hibernate-configuration>

How did you solve this problem?
it looks i am having the same problem.

The Hibernate classes need to be on the Ant schemaexport calsspath.

Try that.
