Hi all,

Hibernate plugin for xdoclet-2 is released and available from sourceforge website:

http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/xdoclet-plugin/

Plugins documentation is available at:
http://xdoclet-plugins.sourceforge.net/

Have fun.

Nice work. I am curious, what is the general status of XDoclet vs XDoclet2 ?

BTW: The download project URL provided above did nto work (maybe a SF problem) Ill try again later.

XDoclet is old codebase which is still popular ( after 3 years it arrived into mainstream ) - with all its problems like cryptic or not existent
error mesages, pretty weird template language etc.

XDoclet 2 is complete redesign, IoC ( picocontainer ) based, with
different java source code parser ( QDox ) , nice plugin architecture,
templating languages are velocity ( preferable for java sources / properties / whatrever ) and jelly ( for xml generation - hibernate support is done via jelly ). Plugins are completely unit tested.

Speaking for hibernate support I will say that it implements more features than 1.2.x , and if you see missing ones just drop us the line,
they are easy to implement. Jelly scripts follow hibernate DTD.

I released 1.0-alpha-1 because I wait for qdox and pico to release fresh versions ( we use snapshots at the moment )




My mistake. It should be
http://sourceforge.net/projects/xdoclet-plugins/

Just forgot. XDoclet tags are now self validating and bomb meaningfull error messages ( unless maven swallows it completely )
