hbm2java: Circular dependency between POJO source generation and Comparator class compilation --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HBX-825 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HBX-825 Project: Hibernate Tools Issue Type: Bug Components: hbm2java Affects Versions: 3.1beta3 Environment: Hibernate 3.1.3 and +. Using MySQL 5.0 Reporter: Julien Fourment Fix For: 3.2.beta11 Attachments: example_and_traces.zip Hi, My java objects are generated from the xml files using hbm2java. One of my collection is sorted using a Comparator class. hbm2java fails saying the comparator cannot be instantiated. But as the comparator makes reference to my java object, it cannot be compiled before the generation happened. We have a circular dependency here. (see example enclosed). Is there any way to fix this ? Many thanks !
