Hibernate Code Generation

[ggreaves]

I'm trying to use custom templates for the Hibernate code generation. Basically, I copied out all the .ftl files from Hibernate-tools.jar to a project in the JBoss Eclipse IDE. I select "Use Custom Templates" and point it to the directory containing the (modified) extracted .ftl files. It doesn't seem to be picking up any of the modified templates.

Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong?

did you keep the directory structure?

e.g.

/hbm/property.hbm.ftl

and not

/property.hbm.ftl

[ggreaves]

Yes. It's the same directory structure. Extracted files are in a directory called "templates" with following structure:

templates
dao
doc
hbm
pojo
seam

I'm pointing to the "templates" directory in the code generator. I've made a change to dao\daohome.ftl and it doesn't get picked up.

Indent didn't get picked up in post. Sorry

templates
--dao
--doc
--hbm
--pojo
--seam

Should I submit this issue as a bug? Has anyone else actually been able to modify the templates and have them picked up?

it works for me and the unittests ;)

but if you can give me enough information and the layout you are using then i can look at it.

so put it in jira.
