Hibernate version: 3.2.0

Mapping documents: Annotations in class files

Name and version of the database you are using: Postgresql 8.3

The generated SQL (show_sql=true): None - that's the problem

Debug level Hibernate log excerpt:

I am trying to generate schema from Annotated classes. I run the ant task with hbm2ddl and it says it's exporting the schema, but in reality it does nothing.

hibernate.cfg.xml:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

It's okay - I'm a dumbass. I thought I could use org.hibernate.annotations.Entity instead of javax.persistence.Entity, and I clearly wasn't reading the docs closely enough.
