Hey that's awesome! I hope this is a fun thing to work on, and not just an
annoyance :) I'll try to help wherever possible.
First.. you'll need an account on http://github.com, then you'll need git:
http://git-scm.com/
Then you'll want to fork the repository on github:
https://github.com/forge/plugin-hibernate-tools This will create a copy of
the code in your account, you'll do all of your work on that fork, then
submit a "Pull Request" when you want to push the code up to the master
repository. I can help you with that later if you are not familiar with Git.
Do you need a git quickstart?
There is a formal contribution guide here, but I wouldn't worry about this
except for agreeing to the JBoss CLA (I really don't know why we require
this, for legal protection I guess.)

If you are using Forge Alpha3 and don't need to debug live, then you don't
need to build Forge from source... so you can just build and test the plugin
while forge runs, like so:
$ forge source-plugin /path/to/plugin/project/folder
This will build and load your plugin dynamically (assuming it builds :)
You'll probably want to join forge-dev, just in case you want to ask more
questions about the development itself :)

I believe max is saying you'll need to build hibernate-tools (
https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-tools) locally and add it to the
plugin POM, but I went ahead and deployed a snapshot so all you'll need to
do is add this to the plugin POM:
https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public/org/hibernate/hi...
While working on the plugin project in forge:
$ project add-dependency
org.hibernate:hibernate-tools:3.4.0.CR2-SNAPSHOT
I think I found the plugin code, max is this right?
https://github.com/maxandersen/forge/blob/htools/persistence-plugin/src/m...
That just needs to be copied over into this new plugin project and updated
to use the new forge APIs, andI think all of the Inject project instance
stuff can be replaced by @Inject private Project project;
I hope this is good information,
~Lincoln

Give me the ingredients and we can do some baking.

Is Hibernate-tools in maven yet?

"it"
being hibernatetools + forge integration.
