Folks:

I'm unable to see the "Code Generation Dialog" in Eclipse. Here are the steps I've taken (trying to follow the instructions in http://docs.jboss.org/tools/2.1.0.Beta1 ... html#setup):

- Fresh Eclipse (v 3.2.2, Build M20080221-1800)
- Downloaded HibernateTools-3.2.0.GA
- Unzipped it
- Copied all files and folders from HibernateTools-3.2.0.GA\plugins into my Eclipse plugins folder
- Copied HibernateTools-3.2.0.GA\features\org.hibernate.eclipse.feature_3.2.0.GA into my Eclipse features folder
- Ran Eclipse –clean and was able to create and edit two files:
o hibernate.cfg.xml
o hibernate.reveng.xml
- However, I am unable to see the “Hibernate Code Generation Dialog” in the “Run” menu
- Tried downloading org.Hibernate.eclipse.feature_3.2.1.GA.jar and replacing the 3.2.0 older with it, but got the same results.
- Also tried (without avail):
o Rebooting
o Updating plugins from within Eclipse
o Copying org.jboss.ide.eclipse.feature_2.0.1.GA.jar in Eclipse "features" folder
o JBossTools-2.0.1.GA-ALL-win32.zip (copied contents of "features" and "plugins" into corresponding Eclipse folders)

Am I missing something obvious? Platform is Windows-XP Professional 2002 SP2.

Thanks In Advance for any help.

what is in the Eclipse error log view ?

Hello Max-

Thanks for the tip. I looked at the error log view and found this:

!SESSION 2008-05-19 16:35:08.453 -----------------------------------------------

!MESSAGE Skipping builder 'org.hibernate.eclipse.console.hibernateBuilder' for project 'AP_GWT'. Either the builder is missing from the install, or it belongs to a project nature that is missing or disabled.

This happened yesterday, and I am unable to get this warning again, even running with eclipse -clean, so I'm a little unclear why I got it once yesterday and don't see it again. There are some other errors but I cleaned them up. I can include the whole log if you want (there's about 20 errors over two days).

Am I supposed to be in some sort of Hibernate-style project to get this menu entry to show up?

Sincerely,
-CK

please run eclipse with -debug and see what shows up.

for some reason the hibernate plugins are not loaded.

Hello Max-

Thanks for your prompt response, as well as the Eclipse debugging tips. I know they will help me in the future.

Here is the contents of the error log with "eclipse -debug." I did also look in the console window that comes up with -debug but didn't see any errors or warnings.

It looks like Eclipse resolved libraries to newer versions. Do you think there's a version mismatch problem somewhere?

Best regards,
-CK

well you obviously have two different versions in there.

But it seems they are all loaded ....not sure why you dont have a Code generation action.

Do you have the hibernate perspective at least ?

Max-

I cleaned out the different versions and now get no warnings on startup, but still don't see the menu items. I also don't see the Hibernate Perspective.

Thanks for your help. I'm going to abandon the Eclipse approach and work with Ant scripts to see if I can make progress there.

Sincerely,
-CK

tens of thousands of people have installed it without any problems ...soemthing must be different at your end ;)

eclipse -debug *must* list why the hibernate plugins does not get loaded.

Hello Max-

I'm back... I got things to build with Ant, and I want to see if I can figure out what's going wrong with Eclipse + Hibernate Tools (if you have the patience :).

>> tens of thousands of people have installed it without any problems

I must be special... :(

I started over on a new machine and have done the following:
- Installed Eclipse from eclipse-SDK-3.3.2-win32.zip by unzipping it and creating a shortcut to eclipse.exe.
- Installed Hibernate tools from HibernateTools-3.2.2.Beta1.zip by unzipping it and copying the contents of the "features" and "plugins" directories into the corresponding directories under eclipse.
- Added the -debug option to my Windows shortcut to Eclipse.

When I run Eclipse I do see the console window indicating that I am running in debug mode. I go to the "Plugin Development" Perspective (I assume that is the right place to find the Error Log). I do not see any errors or warnings in the Error Log. If I click on the "Open Perspective" icon near the upper right corner, and click on the "Other..." menu item, I get a list of perspectives. I don't see the "Hibernate Perspective" in that list (and I assume I should).

What is the best way to debug this? Post a list of the contents of my eclipse plugins and features directories? Anything else?

Thanks In Advance,
-CK

eclipse-sdk does not include webtools so it wont be able to load hibernate plugins successfully.

when you run with -debug that should definitly be visible in the error log.

Max-

Thanks. I installed using eclipse-jee-europa-winter-win32.zip and I am able to see the Hibernate perspective.
