Hi, guys, please give me some advices.

I'm using Eclipse3.1, Hibernate3.0, Hibernate plugin for Eclipse, and mysql as db.

The plugin can generate hibernate.cfg.xml, but the console configuration cannot find the jdbc dirver , and add... GUI only shows directory bin and src instead of lib where the jar is. furthermore, the artifact generator cannot generate any .java or .hbm.xml files. the error looks like
"org.hibernate.console.HibernateConsoleRuntimeException:Problems while loading database driverclass (org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver)"
I did not know how to deal with it.


I'm new with hibernate. I thought the artifact generator can help to generate codes from my db. I wonder if it can. I read some articles saying the console configuration is to do some query in Eclipse. then, how to utilize the tools to generate the POJO files and .hbm.xml files from my schema?

you need to add the jdbc driver *jar* to the classpath.

thanks, but how to add it, max

I'm always puzzled with the differences between classpath and buildpath, and how to define them.

The problem is killing me. My God! anyway , it will benefit a lot if solved.

Go to the console configuration and add it

but i just cannot add anything when i click the classpath add button,
it offers some directories but empty.
i wonder if there's anything else to be configured to make the classpath adding valid?

well if it is not in there then its because your .jar is not in the project.

have you tried the latest version ? here you can add an external jar.

yeah,it sounds good.i'll try.
god bless me. i'm downloading it.
thank you, max, for your help & patience.

it works well...
and it generates GeneralHbmSetting.hbm.xml file and no pojo files or other .hbm.xml files.

puzzled

so no tables are in the chosen table space

thank max
now the problem's solved
the plugin behaves pretty well
it generate the codes i want
