Hibernate Tools version:

I want to change the generator class in code generation template ../hbm/id.hbm.ftl:
The original code in the template id.hbm.ftl is:

Generation output is:

Creating a custom template works fine. But: This is not nice, if there is a way to change the property of the original template...

I want to change the generator class for all tables.
Is it possible to change the default value for "generator class" by changing a property.

no, but it is possible by implementing a custom reverse enginerring strategy.

Also covered in the docs.
