How to configure maven hbm2hbmxml and hbm2java to run one after the other in mvn clean install

Question

I need to be able to call mvn clean install and have maven call hibernate3:hbm2hbmxml to generate the mapping files from a database and after than call hbm2java to get the J

Answer 1

Neither of the two answers worked for me out of the box. After a bit of research, I was able to generate POJOs from a database. Hope this fast tracks someone.

Simply generate the java files - no mapping files generated.

Define your database connection in src/test/resources/reveng/hibernate.cfg.xml. Using the test branch so these files are not copied into the distributable artifact.

    
        oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
        
        jdbc:oracle:thin:@server.domain.com:1521:catalog
        login
        ****
        PM
    

Create a list of tables you want to import. Again in the test branch: src/test/resources/reveng/model.reveng.xml

Add the hibernate3 maven plugin to your pom

  
    ...
    
      org.codehaus.mojo
      hibernate3-maven-plugin
      2.2
      
        
          
            hbm2java
            src/main/java/com/me/examples/pm/data
            jdbcconfiguration
          
        
        
          
          src/test/resources/reveng/model.reveng.xml
          src/test/resources/reveng/hibernate.cfg.xml
          true
          true
        
      
      
        
          com.oracle
          classes12
          10.2.0.1.0
        
        
          cglib
          cglib-nodep
          2.1_3
        
      
    
  

Run maven

mvn hibernate3:hbm2java
