We have made significant improvements to the Hibernate toolset for Hibernate3. This is work in progress and we'll continue to implement new ideas and features as the third generation of the Hibernate object persistence stack evolves. See the Road Map for more information about future releases and planned features. The first set of tools we offer are plugins for the Eclipse IDE. See the documentation and screenshots for more information or download directly.

The following features are available:

Mapping Editor: An editor for Hibernate XML mapping files, supporting auto-completion and syntax highlighting. It also supports semantic auto-completion for class names and property/field names, making it much more versatile than a normal XML editor.

Console: The console is a new view in Eclipse. In addition to a tree overview of your console configurations, you also get an interactive view of your persistent classes and their relationships. The console allows you to execute HQL queries against your database and browse the result directly in Eclipse.

Development Wizards: Several wizards are provided with the Hibernate Eclipse tools; you can use a wizard to quickly generate Hibernate configuration (cfg.xml) files, or you may even completely reverse engineer an existing database schema into POJO source files and Hibernate mapping files. The reverse engineering wizard supports customizable templates.

Future releases will also include Ant tasks for running the reverse engineering and code generation wizards outside of Eclipse.

Note that this new toolset requires Hibernate3! See this page for more information about the old Hibernate toolset for Hibernate 2.x.
