How to configure hibernate-tools with maven to generate hibernate.cfg.xml, *.hbm.xml, POJOs and DAOs

Question

can any one tell me how to force maven to precede mapping .hbm.xml files in the automatically generated hibernate.cfg.xml file with package path?

My general idea is,

Answer 1

Ok, I fixed my problem by forcing maven to put the hbm.xml files into the /target/classes/package/name folder, so at the end my pom looks like this:

    
        
            org.codehaus.mojo
            hibernate3-maven-plugin
            2.2
            
                
                    hbm2cfgxml
                    generate-resources
                    
                        hbm2cfgxml
                    
                    false
                    
                        
                            
                                hbm2cfgxml
                                jdbcconfiguration
                            
                        
                        
                            package.name
                        
                    
                
                
                    hbm2hbmxml
                    generate-resources
                    
                        hbm2hbmxml
                    
                    false
                    
                        
                            
                                hbm2hbmxml
                                target/classes
                            
                        
                        
                            package.name
                        
                    
                
                
                    hbm2java
                    generate-sources
                    
                        hbm2java
                    
                    false
                    
                        
                            
                                hbm2java
                                configuration
                            
                        
                        
                            package.name
                            target/hibernate3/generated-mappings/hibernate.cfg.xml
                        
                    
                
                
                    hbm2dao
                    generate-sources
                    
                        hbm2dao
                    
                    false
                    
                        
                            
                                hbm2dao
                                configuration
                            
                        
                        
                            package.name
                            target/hibernate3/generated-mappings/hibernate.cfg.xml
                        
                    
                
            
            
                
                    postgresql
                    postgresql
                    8.4-701.jdbc3
                
            
        
    

And it works ok. As fas as I could see in other posts, in some early build phases those hbm.xml files should be copied from target/hibernate3/generated-mappings (where they are generated by default) to target/classes/package/name (where hibernate-tools looks for them), but in my case they aren't (which indicates I'm doing something wrong). So if there is anyone out there knowing what it might be I'm doing wrong, please tell me. Otherwise It'll have to suffice.

There is one thing that isn't working: the package names aren't used in the generated POJOs and DAOs: but I created another thread for this here.

Update: ok, now I finally got it. The problem with missing package names was in the hbm2hbmxml goal's configuration. I missed the componentProperties with packagename there, so the generated hbm.xml missed the fully classified class names. I updated the above pom, now it works fine. The issue regarding explicit copying the hbm.xml files to the target/classes folder is still the case, though.
