[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HBX-589) Null Pointer Exception while generationg code

[ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HBX-589?page=co... ] Dan Madoni commented on HBX-589: -------------------------------- Yes sorry, I forgot to mention that the directory already exists and had always exised, so I ignored that early on thinking it was attributable to pre-release dialog box behavior. :) I clicked on the Browse button to select the directory and the selection changed the Output directory setting from... C:\workspace\hibenate-tools-test\src ...to a directory that is relative to the Eclipse workspace... \hibenate-tools-test\src ...which made the error icon go away. I then ran the tool again and it worked! Thanks! So, I guess that in addition to the fact that I shouldn't so easily dismiss the error icon, the real problem here was that I used a full path, but it won't work unless I have a path that is relative to my Eclipse workspace? If this is by design, then there may be a doc bug, as the following passage appears in http://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/tools/reference/en/html/plugins.html#d0... in describing what to specify for Output Directory: "Path to a directory into where all output will be written by default. Be aware that existing files will be overwritten, so be sure to specify the correct directory." I didn't see anything about a relative directory, so I apologize if I missed it. And of course, sorry for not having clicked the Browse button until you pointed out that error icon. :) Thanks for your prompt attention! -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/secure/Administrators.... - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
