Hi -- I'm trying to get the Hibernate tools for Eclipse working, and thought maybe a little context-sensitive editing would help, but when I try to open the *.hbm.xml files with the Hibernate XML editor, it opens a tab for a page with no page -- only the words "The document is empty. Right mouse click here to insert content."

Needless to say, the document is most certainly *not* empty, and right clicking achieves nothing.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Cheers,

most likely you have some older WTP libraries in your eclipse installaiton.

note that WTP 0.7 is NEWER than WTP 1.0

/max

Thanks for that -- unfortunately I have no idea as to what WTP is!
I'll have a look, but if any advice on how to fix this can be offered in the meantime, I would be *very* grateful.
Cheers again,
doug.

have you installed older hibernate tools ?

then you will have parts of WTP in your eclipse/plugins directory which you should remove before installing the newer hibernate tools.

if you have no clue about eclipse plugin installation structure then the easiest is simply to reinstall hibernate tools onto a newly fresh eclipse install.

That's precisely what I did -- I am using a new laptop, so installed everything fresh.
The other things I have installed (all new versions) are:
Spring tools
XML Buddy
Nitrox for Struts & JSF
(& then the usuals like VEP, etc.)

Could one of these be responsible?

yes they could.

xml buddy is probably the culprit here.

see http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.e ... 07070.html

and https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=108882

Thanks alot, man -- I just uninstalled XMLbuddy & that fixed it!
Prepare to be rated...
