Hello,

Some background about me: I have never used hibernate before - this is my first day.

Now my job entails editing an existing hibernate project (it also uses spring). I am noticing there are many *.xml files and *.java files that were autogenerated. If this is of any relevance, there are always comments relating to myeclipse in the code such as:
" @author MyEclipse Persistence Tools"
and
" Mapping file autogenerated by MyEclipse Persistence Tools"

Q: What is the best way to go about editing these files in your opinion?
ie, would you edit them manually or is there some other more convenient visual editor tool or something else out there which would be more convenient or easier to use (ie myeclipse, eclipse, some other plugin)??

Thanks in advance!!

ps: I also asked this same question to myeclipse forum, but I wanted to get opinion of hibernate forum as well
