I'm using the Hibernate Tools in Eclipse and have successfully generate HBM.XML' and Java Classes for all my components, however I'm getting an error creating the SessionFactory in my Hibernate Configurations panel. I check the class (InvestigativeElement) and it compiles fine, as well as all it's immediate listed dependencies. Anyone know where I should start looking for an error?

Hibernate version:3.x, Tools version: 3alpha5

[b]Mapping documents:
InvestigativeElement.hbm.xml:

I should also mention that it appears that most, if not all, the classes appear in the "Configuration" group in the Hibernate Configuration panel.

Thanks,

the configuration node just shows what information it was possible to extract from the configuration files - the sessionfactory need the actual classes to work; thus check if you have the eclipse build path in classpath of the console configuration.

OK, that seems reasonable-- but how do I add the build path the configuration... I don't see any "button" in the configuration window that allows me to add a path, only JARs and External JARs.

Is there a file I need to edit manually to get the build path to appear?

OK, so Add JARs also lets me add a Path -- very unintuitive... suggest a name change for the button -- "Add JAR/Directory"

Thanks,

David

use a more recent version ;)

Had the same issue before, and took me a while to figure out how to add the directory. Should change the name for sure..

One other thing that i find too well hidden is the HQL-editor! The icon did seem greyed out most of the time.

Just an idea, but maybe it could just been a "view panel" with a listbox or tabs with the consol config.
Or at least be able to click on the icon when i am on any subelements in the tree. (should not be too hard to find the parent from the code, right ;)

Erik

yeah i know the hql editor is not the most obvious ui wise ;)

I don't get your message in:

"Just an idea, but maybe it could just been a "view panel" with a listbox or tabs with the consol config." ...what does that mean ?

:)

I mean like an element u you can find in the WINDOW>SHOW VIEW>OTHER... etc.

Hmm have a feeling i am mixing something here :P

If it were like a "panel" u could only select the right consol config in some sort of list maybe..?

(i think it would be easier to find for many users. that is why i said that.)

Well bottomline is.. for me it was hard to find. The first thing i did was looking for it as a view..
Anyone else did the same?

-Erik

and that wasn't just because it *used* to be a view ?

now its a true editor with its advantages (& some disadvantages)

:P ok maybe.

I can see the advantages too. (and i think i like that to be honest.)

But what do u think about my idea of making it visable on very sub node in the tree?

can it be misguiding or would it make it easier to get starting?

I think atleast it should be "pushed" up in documentation.

(I know where it are now though, just hoping to help some newcomers here)

Erik

(Wow we have a good speed in posting :P)

it should/will be available on the other nodes (basically anything that has any remote chance of being a "link" to a hibernate console configuration)

I just haven't had time to get around it (added more urgent stuff ;)

Great! =)

Keep up the good work
