Currently I'm working on a large Dutch project that first tried to develop new software with MDA. This turned out to be a nightmare. I'm asked to define a new toolset: my proposal is JBoss, Hibernate, Eclipse, Spring. But I'm having trouble finding references for the combination Eclipse & Hibernate. Can anybody get me in touch with such references (preferably Dutch).

Thanks,
Okke

It seem that two plugins/tools are popular: Hibernate Synchronizer and Exadel ORM Studio. I wouldn't know what else can be said about the combination, some Eclipse users will have to comment.

Hi,

I'm using Eclipse with HibernateSychronizer. A good plugin imho. You can use it out of the box for starting prototyping and if you want you can write your own velocity templates for rendering the DAO objects (out of the box they have some basic bussiness methods) , so customizing is possible and if familar with Velocity it's a pleasure.
The other plugin Christian mentioned I can't tell you anything.

With references I mean respected companies that are willing to discuss their positive experiences with the combination of Hibernate & Eclipse. Any contact/information would be helpfull. I have excellent references for the use of either hibernate or eclipse but it's the combination. It sounds stupid I know, but a board of directors is hard to convince...

I'd say that 40% of all Hibernate users (and companies using Hibernate) use Eclipse, 40% IntelliJ, and 10% are other combinations. So you can pretty much ask anyone. Would it help if you tell management that both are not related at all (one is an IDE, the other one a persistence layer)?

I noticed that JFaceDbc has some mapping generation capabilities.

I use middlegen-hibernate and eclipse (with ant build)
plugin is patched for performance
link http://www.snpe.co.yu/middlegen.tar.bz2

uncompress and import existing project and call ant build

@emmanuel correct JFaceDBC may generate the Mappings and POJO's but the generated files are very flat (no set's or many-to-one relations) seems that they don't read the meta-data from the DB.

@oharsta I think Christian is pointing into the right direction the most convincing arguement is the indendency of using Hibernate. You have not to use a special IDE, also switching the Database System can be done in a few minutes if the mapping files aren't database specific. BTW I think the Hibernate Story thread will give you enough references http://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.php?t=934422 to deal with the management.
