Hibernate Tools 4.12 not working with Eclipse 4.12 (or 4.13)

[kenye]

Hi All,

I installed the plugin and configured everything. Pretty simple. But it won’t work.

No problems connecting to the database via JDBC.

The problem is that I keep getting null pointer exceptions in Eclipse when I click on the Configuration and Session Factory.

I have tried every configuration available, but no luck.

If someone got it to work, I would appreciate a tip or five and maybe some screenshots. Or a link to some detailed configuration instructions.

I’m running:
Eclipse 2019-09 (4.13)
JBoss Hibernate Tools Plugin 4.12
Hibernate 5.4.2
JPA 2.1
MySQL 5.1

I tried Eclipse 2019-06 (4.12) and that didn’t work, either.

If there is more information that I could supply, I would be happy to post it, but I think I just need some detailed instructions.

Hello Kenny,

I am afraid that without some more information there is not much that we can do.

What exactly do you mean with 'not working'? Can you either describe in detail and step by step what you are doing to get this null pointer? Also please attach the complete stack trace that you are getting.

Cheers,

Koen
