Websphere Dev tool uses eclipse 3.0. Hibernate tools uses eclipse 3.1 - tell WSAD to upgrade their eclipse dependency ;)

No, there is no way to upgrade the WSAD version of Eclipse. Everyone in the WSAD DeveloperWorks forums have been complaining about their slooooow iterations for a long time now. Two solutions for you:

1) Use an installation of Eclipse 3.2 for reverse engineering and code generation.

2) Use the Ant tasks for code generation in WSAD.

I used method #1 to familiarize myself with the toolset. Now, I exclusively use the Ant tasks and they are just as easy to use as the plugin. IMO, the Ant tasks give you more fine grained control anyways and it does not tie you to a development platform.

Ananasi,

Thanks for ur reply. I am not that familiar with Ant tasks. Can we manipulate hibernate mapping files with a graphical interface with Ant tasks.

Thanking You,
Chamal.

Nope, Ant is pretty much uses text based IO, some IDEs may augment that, but I do not use them. If you really need the graphical interface (learn Ant though, it's handier than I originally thought as well), then install Eclipse 3.2, there are no interaction problems. You will just have to import the project into WSAD after you generate the code. Good luck and good coding!
