Hi folks,


I can't get XDoclet to generate my .hbm.xml files. and it doesn't give me any feedback as to why (or maybe I don't know where to look?). JBoss-service.xml gets created via jbossservice though, so at least I know that the hibernatedoclet task is getting processed.

Question:
Since my projects will always be small one-man develpment efforts (me) and I don't have an unlimited time-budget for learning XDoclet, do you think it is worth using it instead of hand-writing the various files? Or will I spend more time debugging XDoclet than hand-writing the scripts?


The Code:
If you really have patience, I posted part of my build.xml script down below, as well as my .java fiile. It's not a whole lot, but if anyone can look over it and possibly give me some ideas, then I'd really be greatful.

HERE IS PART OF MY build.xml:
NOTE: I repaced '<' and '>' with '(' and ')' so that I could post this here!
