Hibernate version:
Hibernate 3 Tools: 3.0.0.alpha4 for Ant tasks

Full stack trace of any exception that occurs:
BUILD FAILED
C:\dev\build.xml:68: The <hibernatetool> type doesn't support the nested "cfg2cfgXml" element.

Hi,

I am trying to generate the hibernate.cfg.xml file when reverse engineering from database schema to hibernate mappings and Java files.

Seems like the <cfg2cfgXml/> generator is not recognized by the HibernateToolTask taskdef in Ant.

Other generators run fine with Ant.

Also, generation of hibernate.cfg.xml works fine as part of the Eclipse plugin though. The problem seems to be in the Ant task alone.

Thanks,
Murtaza

hmm...are you sure the case is right and that you are using the correct .jars ?

Hi,

I believe I am doing it correctly and referencing only the jars in the plugin dir of Eclipse Hibernate Tools 3.0 alpha4.

Here is the Ant build.xml with the <cfg2cfgXml/> commented out:

Hi,

Did you solved the problem?
I have same problem, but I can solve this situation.

Thank you.
