Dmitry Geraskov [http://community.jboss.org/people/dgeraskov] created the document: "Hibernate toos 3.3 wish list" To view the document, visit: http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-16605 -------------------------------------------------------------- Here is a list of new features for Hibernate Tools plugins which we'll consider to implement in 3.3 version. 1. *Hibernate 4 support.* There is already http://in.relation.to/Bloggers/HibernateCore400Alpha1Released Hibernate 4.0.0.Alpha1 released. We are going to support Hibernate 4 in our tools. 2. *User hibernate libraries support aka Hibernate multiversions support.* Due to different hibernate and hibernate tools versions we should provide the behaviour of our tools based on the libraries in User's project. ( https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-6070 JBIDE-6070) 3. *Package-level annotations support in JPA projects*. Dali JPA tools now provide the API to support package level annotations (located in package-info.java files). Hibernate has some annotations (@GenericGenerators, @TypeDefs...) which require such a support. They should be retrieved and processed by JPA project validator and views.(ex. https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-3507 JBIDE-3507) 4. *Overwrite/Skip/Merge options in hibernate tools generation process.* This option was asked many times by our users. They should be able to select what exporter should do with existing files when it generates the output. ( https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-3314 JBIDE-3314, https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-4268 JBIDE-4268) 5. *Completion proposals in persistence.xml for some hibernate values.* We have ability to provide some completion proposals in JPA project persistence.xml file for such options like hibernate properties names, dialects, urls templates, etc. ( http://https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-8026 JBIDE-8026) 6. *Generate orm.xml files.* User should be able to generate orm.xml files like now he can generate hbm files or annotated java classes. But this should be implemented in hibernate-core first. ( https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-6554 JBIDE-6554) May be not all features from the list will be implemented, but they are on the top of our list. -------------------------------------------------------------- Comment by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-16605] Create a new document in JBoss Tools Development at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=102&am...]
