Reverse engineer db and create .java files with Xdoclet tags

Hi,

My app uses an oracle database but the app does not use hibernate.

To start out quick I guess I should use MiddleGen.

But I did not get what I expected.

I configured it to use my Oracle DB.

but MiddleGen just created a lot of things I did not need. It created EJB, JDO, Struts action, objects.

I am only interested in getting .java classes for my tables with the getter methods decorated with Xdoclet tags.

I ran the ant task hbm2java and but got .java classes without the Xdoclet tags.

WHAT I AM MISSING ?

Step 1: I suggest you use the R5 release which only includes the hibernate plugin so you will not get all of the other possible targets. [Or edit the ant file and comment out all of the plugins]

Step 2: Read the Wiki (and the supplied build.xml for the sample) and set the XDoclet tag to true for the hibernate plugin. URL http://hibernate.bluemars.net/98.html

That should do it.
