Newbie here and I can't find the documentation on hbm2java with eclipse 3.2 and the beta6 tools. I am trying to just have it generate java code from one hbm.xml file. I get an exception on another file that for some reason it thinks should be in folder X, where it actually lives in folder Y.

If anyone can point me to some documentation or tell me where the Hibernate Code Generation info is stored under eclipse, that would be great.

what is the error ?

And what is it specifically you want when asking for "Hibernate Code Generaiton info" ?

This is the error:

org.hibernate.console.HibernateConsoleRuntimeException: Could not resolve /hibernate/src/main/java/com/hp/ov/persist/shareddb/Code.hbm.xml to a file
<No message>

Which is correct because the xml file lives under shareddb/mappings.

I was guessing that the Hibernate Code Generation information is stored somewhere under the eclipse workspace folder hierarchy and that somehow it has the incorrect path stored.

Could you give me the full stacktrace ? (available in the Error Log view).

Did you by any chance enter /hibernate/src/main/java/com/hp/ov/persist/shareddb/ into the package name when doing reverse engineering and then chose to generate a hibernate.cfg.xml ?
Then this filename would be generated into the hibernate.cfg.xml since it is the "normalized" form of mapping file names.

And no, there isn't any "extra" path names stored anywhere besides what you can see in the launcherconfiguration and you ordinary hibernate configuration files.

Max, I double-checked the hibernate.cfg.xml file and there is no trace of the package name. Unfortunately there is no output at all in the Error Log view so I can't give you that, but I think that I found the reason: I do have a couple of manual created POJO's in the shareddb folder, my xml definitions live in shareddb/mappings. When I now manually copy over the hbm.xml file to where the pojo lives, it processes the file ok (and then bitches about the next one).

I will see if I can get ant to work.

but somehow you have told hibernate to load those mapping files...it doesn't invent those names on its own ;)

What, it doesn't, you gotta be kidding me :-)

I realize that so I am trying to find where and what file; I let you know if I figure it out.

After a looooong find/grep action I found the file(s) :

/workspace/hibernate/.metadata/.plugins/org.hibernate.eclipse.console

has a bunch of hibernate-console-x.xml files. All of them have a mappings section where hbm.xml files were put under shareddb and not shareddb/mappings. It seems they get generated the first time you run the code generation; what it uses to generate these incorrect entries, I don't know

they are put there when you call "add mapping" in the console configuration.
