I upgraded to 3.x from 2.x Hibernate. Now of course, I cannot find any of my old tools. I was using the Hbm2JavaTask (see below), and need a replacement for 3.x.

I have spend a fricken lot of time looking through the docs, only to become more confused than when I started.

Anyway, if someone could assist me getting this tool to run, I would appreciate it.


<taskdef name="hbm2java"
classname="net.sf.hibernate.tool.hbm2java.Hbm2JavaTask"
classpathref="project.class.path"/>

<!-- Generate the java code for all mapping files in our source tree -->
<target name="codegen"
description="Generate Java source from the O/R mapping files">
<hbm2java output="${source.root}">
<fileset dir="${source.root}">
<include name="**/*.hbm.xml"/>
</fileset>
</hbm2java>
</target>



So much documentation ... so little organization.

I did the following on a cygwin shell

cd hib3toolsdir

for f in `find . -name \*.jar -print`; do
jar -tvf $f | grep -i hbm2java && echo found in $f
done

Then it noted that this jar file contained something similar:
./plugins/org.hibernate.eclipse_3.1.0.beta/lib/tools/hibernate-tools.jar

The class was called:
org.hibernate.tool.ant.Hbm2JavaGeneratorTask.class


It appears that all the tools are now packaged for specify IDE's or "ant"..etc. instead of just being generally available; and I totally agree
that setup is frustrating at best..., since it is not document very well at all.
In the past, I did something similar to the above "find" - but first I search for all the *.jar files in the tools set, and copied them to my own "tools" dir, then ran the find (above) to locate the correct (or expected by guess) classes to use.

Hope this helps...

Here's out ant task which runs fine from Eclipse under Hibernate 3.1.2



Don't forget to rate if this helps :-)
