Hi Max.

I am executing hbm2hbmxml with reverse engineeering option and custom metadatadialect which reads pseudo metadata from external xml file. It works fine except one case when database doesn't exists.
Can you prevent calling of SettingsFactory in case like mine when custom meta dialect used.

This is execption I am getting :
