Constructors prob. with new hibernate-tools-3.1.0.alpha5

Hi I am newbie to Hibernate. I got to upgrade the Hibernate version from 2.1.6 to 3.

While upgrading to HB 3, I had to replace the hbm2java task[net.sf.hibernate.tool.hbm2java.Hbm2JavaTask] with hibernatetool[org.hibernate.tool.ant.HibernateToolTask]

Code:

<taskdef 
               name="hibernatetool" 
               classname="org.hibernate.tool.ant.HibernateToolTask"          
               classpathref="hibernate.lib"/> 

           <hibernatetool destdir="${hibernate.build}">              
               <configuration> 
                     <fileset dir="${hibernate.src}"> 
                        <include name="**/*.hbm.xml" /> 
                     </fileset>                                     
               </configuration> 
               <hbm2java/> <!-- generate default .java files --> 
                
           </hibernatetool> 

The earlier tool hbm2java task[net.sf.hibernate.tool.hbm2java.Hbm2JavaTask] generated following three kinds of constructors for my *.hbm.xml files.

1. Full
2. Default
3. Minimal
4. Many other Customer Constructors

The new tool just generates

1. Default
2. Constructor with primary id key

FYI: I am making use of hibernate-tools-3.1.0.alpha5 version.

Please guide how should I generate all those constructors that i used to get generated by Hbm2JavaTask.

i think the HB3-hbm2Java-Tool doesn't generate the missing constructors at the moment.
I've promissed max to provide a patch which includes the constructor-creation but wasn't able to do so (first a lot of work, then vacation - but not at home).

Sorry for my slowness :( i'll try to provide a patch as soon as possible.

Code:

##    /** full constructor */
##    public $c2j.getDeclarationName($clazz)($c2j.asParameterList($c2j.getPropertyClosureForFullConstructor($clazz))) {
###if(!$c2j.getPropertyClosureForSuperclassFullConstructor($clazz).isEmpty()) 
##        super($c2j.asArgumentList($c2j.getPropertyClosureForSuperclassFullConstructor($clazz)));        
###end
###foreach($field in $c2j.getPropertiesForFullConstructor($clazz))  
##        this.$field.Name = $field.Name;
###end
##    }

The code to generate the full constructor is commented out in PojoConstructors.vm in CVS.

1. Is there any specific reason for this?

2. Is it safe to uncomment this and use it to generate the full constructor?

try and see if it works for you.

its commented out because its not complete with respect to inheritance and guaranteed ordering.
