Is it just me or does the Artifact Generation not create POJO from mapping files (what hbm2java used to do)?

I continue to get the following error, no matter what database I use, no matter what is in the mapping file. I can only guess that it's something fundamentally stupid that I did. From the Hibernate Console I can create a session successfully, and I did successfully reverse-engineer a few tables I created into mappings and pojo. I know the database is working, I know I can talk to it, I know the tools can get *something* done. So why can't I go from hbm to POJO?
Here is the error:

Error under artifact generation
Reason:
org.hibernate.MappingException: Could not configure datastore from file:/Users/ryan/Projects/BayPort/src/com/bayport/intermodal/Driver.hbm.xml

Here is my hibernate:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC
"-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN"
"http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">

<property name="hibernate.connection.username">root</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.password"></property>

</hibernate-configuration>

Here is the mapping file:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-mapping PUBLIC
"-//Hibernate/Hibernate Mapping DTD 3.0//EN"
"http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-mapping-3.0.dtd">

I am just stupid. Hibernate wasn't giving descriptive errors. I wish it could have given me a mapping error, which was the problem. I fixed the mapping file and now it works.

didnt the stacktrace include that information ?

the artifact generation ui in eclipse did not show a stack trace in any of the windows that i saw.

details of stacktraces is shown in the Error Log.

I had the exact same problem... yes, it is frustrating. My problem was that I was specifying the mapping files in hibernate.cfg.xml and as part of the configuration. I removed the “.hbm” files from the “mapping files” section of the hibernate configuration and that fixed it. I was then able to generate the POJO files from the hibernate.cfg.xml file.

I would assume the mapping files section is to be used when using a properties file and not the hibernate.cfg.xml.

yes - the configuration should be viewed just like the hibernate configuration....double adding mappings there would be considered an error.

But add a request to the jira and i'll see if we can at least warn of duplicate mapping file names. (using the path to check with wont help since some can be mapped as resources others as files)
