Hi guys, We have 200-ish hbm files we would like to convert to annotated classes. Is there any tool you guys recommend to tackle such a project ? Thanks in advance for your time, Noel _______________________________________________ hibernate-dev mailing list hibernate-dev(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/hibernate-dev

I remember needing something like that and did it by having the legacy app create the schema in the RDBMs, then use reverse engineering to pojos. This was during the "Seam 2 era" so quite some time ago.. not sure how tools evolved since then. You'll need some manual tuning during both steps of course, but since I could tune & extend both the naming strategies (via code extensions) and the template files we got a quite complex application (600+ entities) converted in a couple of days. AFAIR my best learner lesson was to be ready to repeat it all (script it) multiple times, to prefer tune the templates and naming strategies iteratively over fixing things by hand.

This is great Steve. Can I take at least a sneak-peek into the tool?

The reason I ask is that we are pretty far along in the development of a hbm.xml -> orm.xml tool, with the caveat that the orm.xml is an "extended" form of the JPA orm.xml weaving in Hibernate-specifics. So it would depend on whether any hbm-specific features are used (property-ref being the biggest problem). That tool with be completed as part of 7.0, but like I said it is already pretty far along.
