I'm having two major troubles related to Hibernate Tools + Dali integration. In this post I will expose only one of the as it fully concerns Hibernate Tools.

My project is Maven based. For persistence, I have chosen to use Hibernate + JPA, and to ease the creation of the Java classes, I have used the Dali plugin. In order to be able to use Hibernate with Dali, I have created a User library, holding some of the Hibernate Jars (see attachment).

I have created a hibernate configuration. The thing is that when parsing the tree related to the configuration, 1 of the childs is not accessible :

• Configuration : OK, displays the database entities
• Session factory : OK, displays altso the database entities in a different manner
• Database : fails with an exception :
  !ENTRY org.eclipse.core.jobs 4 2 2012-12-15 21:38:01.233
  !MESSAGE An internal error occurred during: "Fetching children of Database".

I don't know how to debug this issue, I have never debugged eclipse plugins...
