When do u expect to release the next version of

Hibernate toolset for eclipse (after 3.0 alpha 1) ?

I've some issues with this release.
But when i went thru the forum, most of them have been fixed.

So if its gonna be too long in the future, then i would like to go the route of building from the latest sources.

Thank you.

hi,

there is a alpha 2 version included in the jboss ide 1.5 download - you can fetch it from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... e_id=72248

Hi, Max,

The readme.txt in the JBOSS download says: Version: 3.0 alpha1, 25. January 2005.

Is there any plan to do a formal alpha 2 release through the hibernate site?

what download did you get ?

JBossIDE 1.5 Milestone 1 should contain the alpha 2.

The download does, in fact, contain alpha 2 plugin components. The readme.txt in the download root directory doesn't reflect this, however.

Is the JBOSS download the "official" alpha 2 release? If so, would it not be a good idea to mention this on the tools homepage?

Also, the docfile says: "Note that we expect significant changes to the structure and organization of the built-in templates in one of the next releases."

Can we expect that these changes will restore the functionality formerly located in the <codegen> tag in the 2.x hbm2java tool?

can you tell me which exact download you are downloading ?
Like a direct link.

Regarding <codegen> "compability" then my goal is to provide the same or similar functionallity to hbm2java 2.x.

Something might change or removed because it has been deemed "bad" (some meta attributes are not needed anymore) or simply not maintained (FinderRenderer have been broken for a long time)

If there is something that is close to your heart and you are missing it , then please tell/report it and i'll either do it or tell why we dont do (hopefully with an alternative solution)

Max, YOU are very close to my heart. :)

I also have requests I would like to the development path for the Eclipse plug-in. However, I couldn't find where to post them, and routing them all through you might be tedious.

Is there a specific place for the Tools requests? Should I just post them in this forum?

The one thing I needed today was the ability to see the translated SQL generated by Hibernate from an HQL query run in the Eclipse IDE.

The exact download is:

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/jbos ... p?download

Unpack the zip, read the "readme.txt". It should contain the same text I pasted above.

As for "near and dear", the most important missing feature for our project is the "prefix=" feature from the old generator.

We maintain hand-coded DAO's that extend the raw hbm2java-generated classes with helper methods, constructors, etc. The hand-coded DAO's are version-controlled, and the base classes are automatically generated as part of the build process. The generated classes all have a "Base" prefix, so that the DAO declaration looks like: public class Thing extends BaseThing.

It would be possible to get the same result by sticking a <meta attribute="generated-class">BaseThing</meta> on every class declaration, but that's ugly and error-prone compared to the current solution.

A new feature that I would really love to see is timestamp checking in the hibernatetool ant task so that it would not overwrite .java files unless the source .hbm.xml file had a more recent timestamp. That would avoid requiring the downstream javac task to recompile all the generated files on every ant run.
