Hi,

I've just installed hibernate tools with eclipse 3.3. the install works fine and I can see it under Manage Configuration but I can't access any of the functionality. I've brought my eclipse up using 'eclipse -clean' and eclipse -clean -debug' but I don't get any error messages.

Any help would be really appreciated.

remember to use jdk5 and have eclipse wtp installed.

I have this same problem. I do have WTP installed, although it is version 3.1M2 instead of 1.5 which is what the Hibernate doc says is needed. Could that be a problem? If you found a solution please let me know. Thanks.

which docs say the latest hibernate tools need WTP 1.5 ?!

http://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/tools ... html#d0e40 which is referenced from http://www.hibernate.org/5.html#A10.

"1.2.1. Usage of Eclipse WTP

The Hibernate tools plugins currently uses WTP 1.5.x which at this time is the latest stable release from the Eclipse Webtools project.
..."

If Hibernate Tools should work with the newest version of WTP that's great. I don't really care, I just want it to work. But in my case it does not.

Here's the output from ./eclipse -clean -debug:

I installed WTP 3.1M2 and Hibernate tools 3.2.2.Beta1 onto a clean Eclipse 3.2.1 installation. I just unzipped the archives and copied the files to the eclipse installation directory. Didn't use update manager. I'm not even sure if I can see any WTP features since I don't know what they are.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

WTP 3.x does not work with Eclipse 3.2, you need Eclipse 3.4.

Latest docs is http://docs.jboss.org/tools/2.1.0.Beta1 ... html#d0e56 which is what we point to from tools.hibernate.org
