SchemaExport not working; NoClassDefFoundError

Dear all,

I want to export my database schema using the SchemaExport tool, in order to recreate the database on a different machine. However, I can't get the tool to work for me. I get a NoClassDefFoundError, but without a class specified. Here's the command line call to SchemaExport:

Code:

java -cp %CLASSPATH%;E:
\java\MyLibraries\hibernate-3\hibernate3.jar org.hibernate.tool.hbm2ddl.SchemaExport --con
fig=hibernate.cfg.xml
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: */;

Any ideas what the problem might be?

Cheers,

Martin

you need to have the pojo classes in the classpath.

any reason you are not using the ant tasks which makes life much easier ?

Thanks for the reply! In the meantime I managed to recreate the database using the porperty setting in the config file:

Code:

<property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">update</property>

I am not too familiar with Ant, hence my using the command line version of SchemaExport.

Cheers,

Martin
