Hello everyone,

Everywhere I look for reverse engineering examples I see the following DTD referenced:

http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibern ... ng-3.0.dtd

However, this does not appear to be the latest version (hibernate.sf.net is deprecated right?)

For example, I have the following in my reverse engineering xml file:

This does not validate. I get errors on the <meta /> tag, because in the DTD it says:

But the <meta /> tag is valid according to the documentation! (And also: generating the POJO's works and respects the <meta /> tag!)

So my question: where's the latest DTD?? I've looked in the repository but can't seem to find it... :(

With kind regards,

Jurrie

Look in the latest hibernate-tools.jar.

It's true that the DTD is in the Hibernate Tools jar, but what if I don't want to install Hibernate Tools? Maybe I'm not even using Eclipse...

A (partial) solution is to reference to the source code repository by ViewVC:

The nicer solution would be for the Hibernate developers to upload the DTD to http://hibernate.org/dtd/hibernate-reve ... ng-3.0.dtd I guess... Why isn't this done??

3 1/2 years later and the updated dtd is still not available online? Even though it is backwards-compatible with the old dtd?

I am trying to use hbm2java from the hibernate3 maven plugin, extracting the documentation etc from the database and populating the <meta> tags for the tables and columns. I gave up on getting Eclipse hibernate-tools working because of all the class conflicts when trying to use it in a maven project, validation errors in the reveng.xml file, etc.

I had to point to the online version at http://seaminaction.googlecode.com/svn/ ... ng-3.0.dtd in order to get the validations and maven plugin to work.
