JBoss Studio: Hibernate Tools Issue

[hkyogaguy]

Hello all...

I just downloaded the JB Dev Studio...I have recently started working on Hibernate and trying to use the hibernate tools using the documentation in the following link: http://docs.jboss.org/tools/2.1.0.Beta1/hibernatetools/html/

Unfortunately for a total newbie in Hibernate, I find it very difficult to manouver around JB Studio Hibernate Tools wizards(although I am a seasoned Eclipse user). Are there any good tutorials that I can use to kind of walk through, step by step on, how to use each of the Hibernate Tools.

I want to user Hibernate Tools to reenginner an exisiting legacy DB2 database to auto generate the POJOs, hbm mappping files...but the documentation in the above link isnt sufficient for me to get started..I couldnt even get to do configure the hibernate console..let alone the other wizards..

Are there any other resources/books that anyone can suggest..any help is appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
Jay

hmm....New > Hibernate Console Configuration...should help ;)

What happens when you follow the docs are you getting exceptions ?

There are some screencasts at http://docs.jboss.org/tools/movies/ in case video is better.

Let me know if it works, and then tell me what the movies said the docs didn't explain well :)

Thanks!

Hi Max

Thanks so much for the info..the videos help. I think the documentation missed some of the screen shots that the video nicely walks through, step by step. Maybe you guys should include all the screen shots from the video. That might help a lot :)..especially for newbies like me!

Thanks much!
Cheers

Also it would be a good idea to put the link to the videos on the documentaton front page..and the hibernate tools documentation page...where its more readily visible(maybe it already is and I missed it?)

There is a movie/viewlet link on both jboss.org/tools and tools.hibernate.org - not sure where else you want them ? :)

Which screen shots do you feel are missing ?
You mean showing how to start the wizards ?

Hi, Jay
we will add links to videos in guides in the corresponding sections, I think it will facilitate their search and then there will be no need to duplicate information in guides from demo.
Thanks for your feedback.
