Mapping file not generated. No Hibernate 3.0 XML Editor

Hi,

I downloaded HibernateTools-3.2.2.Beta1 and plugged it into eclipse 3.2 and eclipse Ganymede. I tried generating a mapping from a class (New > Hibernate XML mapping file) but just get an .hbm.xml file that does not pick up the classes properties. It does not display Open With > Hibernate 3.0 XML Editor (this doesn't exist) as suggested in the documentation. Any ideas?

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-mapping PUBLIC
"-//Hibernate/Hibernate Mapping DTD 3.0//EN"
"http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-mapping-3.0.dtd">
<hibernate-mapping package="com.hp.ReceptionDesk3.document">
<class name="Certificate">
</class>
</hibernate-mapping>

Hibernate version:

3

Hi,
I'm facing the same problem too, with Eclipse 3.3
Does anyone know how to resolve this?

Regards,

I too have experienced the same problem. The class element of the HBM mapping file (MyFirstClass.hbm.xml) does not contain any children:

<class name="MyFirstClass">
</class>

CONTEXT
Eclipse: Ganymede (3.4.0)
Hibernate Tools: 3.2.4.CR2 (3.2.3GA was throwing exceptions for me)

Hi, same problem for me too! I can't understand how this simple feature doesn't work...
I have a simple class and the generation of hbm.xml file does not contain any children (properties).

The feature does not do more than that currently - it just creates the basic .hbm.xml template.

Hi,
I also had this problem of not seeing the XML Editor from eclipse ganymede.
The solution that helped me was installing the full JBossTools package from the site, by dropping its' content in dropin folder in eclipse.
after that, It showed, by didn't work well and threw a lot of errors.
I updated the JBossTools from the SoftwareUpdate in eclipse, and also the supporting tools there.

Now it works OK.

the structured hbm.xml requires full jboss tools that is correct, but the wizard does not.

btw. the wizard is much improved in the nightly builds...
