I'm trying to get Hiberate Tools running in Eclipse, and getting stuck at console configuration.

Deets:
- JBossIDE1.5 RC1 in Eclipse 3.1.1 with Java 5
- PostgreSQL database (tables generated via EJB3/JBoss 4.0.3)
- already defined set of EJB3 persistance classes

My hibernate.cfg.xml setup seems to work fine. When I get to the console configuration, I fill in:

Name: Local
Configuration File: \MyProj\hibernate.cfg.xml

I check the "enable hibernate EJB3 ..." option, and add the following two entries to classpath:

/MyProj/lib/postgresql-8.0-312.jdbc3.jar
/MyProj/bin

(under /MyProj/bin is the usual com/mydomain/... structure)

When I click finish, I get a message box with:

Error while finishing Wizard

Reason:
Probably missing classes or errors with classloading

Clicking on details gives:

java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException

Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong here? Believe me, I've tried lots of variations on this. I'll be glad to provide more detail.

Thanks

No full stacktrace in the dialog or in the Error log View ?

I believe no. I had the error log open, cleared, and it remained that way (and errors have come up on other actions). And the detail from the dialog is verbatim, simply a class name. I'd be happy to try it again, and send some screen shots, etc.

With the previous IDE version (M3 not RC1), I was getting the same error, but the database schema would load in the (um, away from install right now) left-hand window, populated from the database, and not the CMP classes.

If I had to take a guess, I believe it is not mapping the CMP classes correctly. Is it correct to be pointing to the .class files and not .java?

yes it uses the .class not the java files.

there must be a full stack trace somewhere...remember to double click on the message line in the error log view.

After pressing Finish, and getting the MsgBox, error log view remains a great expanse of whiteness; i.e, no lines. Moreover, the Console Configuration dialog remains up. I have to press Cancel to get out of it.

Would a stack trace be logged to a file somewhere?

Thanks...

hmm - look in plugins/org.hibernate.eclipse.console/*.log

Looking under the hood in eclipse made me realize that both the RC1 and M3 versions were there, so I deleted the directories from the old version (M3/Hib. Tools Alpha) and I at least got through the console config. I'll start a new thread on the followup problem. Thanks, Max.
