Hibernate Tools ignoring reverse engineering package=".." in table-filter

[rroopreddy]

Working with Eclipse with Tools version 3.6.0.Final-v20130327

With MySQL 5.6.x version with InnoDB dialect

My file looks like the following

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE hibernate-reverse-engineering PUBLIC "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Reverse Engineering DTD 3.0//EN" "http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-reverse-engineering-3.0.dtd" >

  <!--  These are from entity.common included to generate proper reference package name  -->

  <table-filter match-catalog="entity" match-name="status_code" package="entity.common" />

<!--  These are from entity.person included to generate proper reference package name  -->

  <table-filter match-catalog="entity" match-name="person" package="entity.person" />

</hibernate-reverse-engineering>

I left the default package in GUI empty as I have the "package" specified for each table-filter. Code for the above two files are generated into "default" package and not into respective "entity.common", "entity.person". If I specify the default package in GUI then both classes are generated into that package.

Somehow the package specified in reverse engineering file is ignored

Workaround, removing  -- match-catalog="entity" -- from table-filter seems to work for now.

Things seem to silently fail with case sensitivity on MySQL

mysql has a funky concept of catalog thus make sure you actual have a database named "entity" before trying to match it.
