Dialect class not found when Reverse Engineeribng

I'm trying to reverse engineer a Database (I tried FrontBase and MySQL) using Eclipse 3.1.1/Hibernate-Tools3.1.0-beta1.

Everytime when I hit the 'Finish' button in the Hibernate Artifact Generation Wizard, I get the following error message
!ENTRY org.hibernate.eclipse.console 4 4 2005-11-24 14:48:07.340
!MESSAGE Error under artifact generation
!STACK 0
org.hibernate.HibernateException: Dialect class not found: org.hibernate.dialect.FrontbaseDialect

I checked ...
* the jar file containing the necessary drivers are in the Project path
* I only get this far anyway because I didn't add a driver class (otherwise it drops out there).

I've googled through the world now and checked for any possible setting etc. but nothing seems to help (and I haven't seen any hints in any docs yet)

Any idea where I am missing something. I'm running out of ideas.

it has nothing to do with the driver class. what is missing is the hibernate.jar.

add hibernate.jar to your eclipse project libs.

the artifact generator does not use the hibernate jars from the project classpath since it would create classloader issue with the hibernate.jar used in the tools.

make sure you do not have any hibernate.jar on the console configuration classpath.

I have added the hibernate.jar to the "Java Build Path->Libraries", directly to the project (as external jars) and in several other places before. Without any effect.

Where exactly do I have add these?

to the java project is fine. what i talked about was that you should not add them to the console configuration which you havent. i cant check if there should be any issues with org.hibernate.dialect.FrontbaseDialect since im not near a source tree.

make sure you have spelled the dialect correctly with upper/lower case

Thank you Thank you ... THANK YOU

I was using the "Configuration File" Wizard to begin with.

But the wizard sets the wrong dialect class org.hibernate.dialect.FrontbaseDialect
but in the class in the JAR file it is FrontBaseDialect.

Mhh where can I file this as a bug!?

Now one last question ;-) where do I put the JDBC Driver?

Okay forget my last question one ... I know in the Console Configuration (and yep I'm embarrased about that one).

Again Thank you,

René
