i'm just getting started with hibernate. i wanted to generate the classes mapped by the *.hbm.xml with a code generator. I noticed there is codegenerator with version 2 what about hibernate 3? I just downloaded the tools and dont see it yet.

thank you

yes, there is a code generator.

the docs is at tools.hibernate.org and the codegenerator is available both in the eclipse tools and ant (called hbm2java)

thank you max. I will go ahead and start with the ant version first before i do the eclipse one.

i was kind of hoping just to test it out on the command line first by using something like the previous org.hibernate.tool.hbm2java.CodeGenerator which seems to be gone.

yes...people had too many issues with it and ant is much better of handling this stuff (even though it requires you writing a build.xml)

don't mean to be a pain but the error message I'm getting now is not very verbose:

build.xml:27: Failed in building configuration when adding TopTenItem.hbm.xml

does HibernateToolTask log this somewhere, maybe with log4j? i didnt see any docs about it

improved in cvs to contain more info.

as always with ant run it with -verbose to get more info
