Hibernate Tools
Tooling for your Hibernate projects.

Working with Hibernate is very easy and developers enjoy using the APIs and the query
language. Even creating mapping metadata is not an overly complex task once you've
mastered the basics. Hibernate Tools makes working with Hibernate or JPA even more
pleasant.

Hibernate Tools is a toolset for Hibernate implemented as an integrated

suite of Eclipse plugins, together with a unified Ant task for integration into
the build cycle. Hibernate Tools is a core component of JBoss Tools and
hence also part of JBoss Developer Studio.

The following features are available within Eclipse.

Mapping Editor
An editor for Hibernate XML mapping files, supporting auto-completion and
syntax highlighting. The editor even supports semantic auto-completion for
class names, property/field names, table names and column names.

Console
The Hibernate Console perspective allows you to configure database
connections, provides visualization of classes and their relationships and
allows you to execute HQL queries interactively against your database and
browse the query results.

Reverse Engineering
The most powerful feature of Hibernate Tools is a database reverse
engineering tool that can generate domain model classes and Hibernate
mapping files, annotated EJB3 entity beans, HTML documentation or even
an entire JBoss Seam application in seconds!

Wizards
Several wizards are provided, including wizards to quickly generate
Hibernate configuration (cfg.xml) files, and Hibernate console
configurations.

Ant task
The Hibernate tools include a unified Ant task that allows you to run
schema generation, mapping generation, or Java code generation as part
of your build.
