Would hibernate tools read JPA annotations, or only hibernate's?
It reads both. It uses hibernate for reading this so whatever
hibernate can reads it can read (but not necessarily write ;)
What kind of artifacts does it generate?
in tools it self is a few built in ones, like pojo and pojo+jpa and
hbm.xml files.
More in the docs.
Does this activate a template
translation?
Yes, it uses freemarker, but the interesting bit is that it generates
a Hibernate Configuration you can use to what you want.
What is the name of this feature, so I can find it in the hibernate
tools
documentation?
Its the main almost only feature of hibernate tools :)
http://docs.jboss.org/tools/latest/en/hibernatetools/html_single/index.ht...
is the best docs from perspective of usage from Ant. (Same doc has for
eclipse if interested).
Programmatically I haven't pushed it much but code is at
https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-tools
and you can ping me or possibly even Koen to give some more intro.
The Forge plugin that uses this already is at
https://github.com/forge/plugin-hibernate-tools
