Hi,

I just grabbed the latest copy of Eclipse 3.3.0 and Hibernate Tools 3.2.0.beta9a. To see how the generator worked, I just created a couple of POJOs in a project and the hibernate.cfg.xml. Then I went to the "Hibernate Code Generation..." wizard. So, what I want is the hbm.xml files that correspond to my 2 POJOs. So, I select a console configuration, select an existing output directory, and then check "Hibernate XML Mapping (.hbm.xml)" under the Exporters tab. When I click the "Run" button, nothing happens; nothing gets generated. When I try the "Hibernate XML Configuration (cfg.xml)" exporter instead, it copies my existing hibernate.cfg.xml to the output directory, so it does look like I have it configured somewhat correctly. I just can't get it to generate the hbm.xml files for me.
Nothing shows up in the hibernate error log in Eclipse either...
Any ideas about what I'm doing wrong?

Generating HBMs from the database, eg, reveng is supported. Only from a POJO you require some form of markup, eg, Xdoclet tags == xdoclet to generate the HBMs.

thanks David...
Since I've never "decorated" my POJOs before in this way, what's the suggested/recommended way? XDoclet? others?

XDoclet if you cannot use Annotations otherwise use Annotations - then you do not need to generate HBMs at all.
