hbm2java is emitting a Warning: Could not find UserType

Folks, when I generate my java classes from the HBM files, I get this irritating warning:

net.sf.hibernate.tool.hbm2java.ClassMapping getTypeForUserType
WARNING: Could not find UserType: de.xcom.emv.hibernate.ImportData. Using the type 'de.xcom.emv.hibernate.ImportData' directly instead. (java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: de.xcom.emv.hibernate.ImportData)

Why is this happening? I don't use any UserTypes.
Also the ImportData class has nothing unusual (i.e. nothing I don't use in other HBM files) in its HBM file. Similarily, it is used in various mappings just like many of the other classes.

Please note: the warning has no effect on the correctness of my code.
Hibernate version: 2.1.6

Thanks,
Jonathan

hbm2java don't know if the class really is a usertype or not if it cannot load it and investigate. Thus it emits a warning just so IFF you really wanted it to be steered by the usertype you would get the info.

Max, answer accepted. But why does it happen here, and not for other tables. I am passing all my hbm.xml files to hbm2java. I even have a case of a Document has multiple Versions. A Version belongs to a Document, and the Document table has a reference to the latest Version. I have checked the class names, but that's not it.

Ah well, I guess I'll live with it!

yes - but is the warning not from a simple <property> and the others are <many-to-one>'s ?
