which Eclipse plug-in could help me to generate j2ee bean assuming have hbm file ?

[Edward Chen]

I like hibernate. I like to design UML and then write hbm file. After that, I use Hibernate Synchronizer to generate plain java files . This solution is better for me.

Now the problem is, I have the hbm files. I want to generate J2EE session bean / Entity bean, not the plain files, which Eclipse plug-in could help me ?

I know the MiddleGen can do some bean generation. But its problem is, firstly you have to have the database tables, it is not from top to down, not from hbm file to database schema.

Let me simply my question, which Eclipse plug-in could help me to generate j2ee bean assuming I only have hbm file ?

Thanks

Venkat, afaik there is no plugin available. Using Middlegen is quite easy. You just need to configure the database connection from Middlegen (you already got in the Middlegen distro a lot of samples) and start Middlegen. Afterwards you will be presented a nice drawing where you can configure some details and than... poof there you have your hbms.

ps: middlegen offers you a nice and easy experience
