NoSuchMethodError hbm2ddl.SchemaExport.setFormat

Hibernate version:3.0

I am using Eclipse 3.1 (Lomboz Eclipse based IDE for J2EE Development Version: 1.0.0) for development. I have very successfully managed to use the reverse engineering aspects of the Eclipse Hibernate toolset. I have also successfully managed to generate java from hbm.xml files. However when I try to use 'hbm2ddl' things don't work. I have tried combinations of jar files that come as part of the Hibernate dist and indeed all of them to no avail. Thus far I have soured the web and the Hibernate site without success. Clearly I must be doing something wrong .... but what. Can anyone enlighten me ... please. I'm beginning to think my sanity is at stake here :-)

I get the following whenever I try to generate DDL:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.hibernate.tool.hbm2ddl.SchemaExport.setFormat(Z)Lorg/hibernate/tool/hbm2ddl/SchemaExport;

use latest hibernate3.1 or simply just use the hibernate3.jar from the tools distribution when running the ant tasks.
