Hey,

I looked about for the answer to this question, but couldn't find much..

"How can I have the eclipse plugin generate jdk 1.4.x compatible source code for pojo's and dao's?"

I reckon that I can edit the velocity template daohome.vm, but I wondered if there was aproperty, or if I could use a "2" version of one of the tools to get the result I want.

Any ideas on this subject, including directions to the RTFM if you can show me where the relevant FM is, will be warmly welcomed.

TIA

as far as i know we always generate 1.4 compatible code - if not submit a patch/bugreport.

we only generate 1.5 code if generics/ejb3 is enabled.

Nice to know, but sadly there are "import static"s in daohome.vm

should not be in 3.1 beta1 and definitly not in the cvs version.

...and if there is, fixable with a custom template.

The latest plugin is generating code compatible ONLY to JDK5.0. Please provide a solution so that it works with JDK1.4. This is required urgently.

If not provide a detailed description as to how to create custom templates.

Thanks and Regards,

POJOs are 1.4 definitely compatible. I haven't tried the DAO generation so can't comment.

Yes, the POJO's were 1.4 compatible. But the DAO's aren't. There are static imports present all over.

Can some one please explain ASAP, how to create custom templates for the DAO classes?

find the dao/daohome.vm in the hibernate-tools.jar, put that file in a directory like mytemplates/dao/daohome.vm and use mytemplates as the template path and you can do your thing from there.
