Ok so I reproduced your steps above and now proved what I'm talking about earlier: 4 folders for an Seam web (EAR) project. I have: maxTest maxTest-ear maxTest-ejb maxTest-test When I switch to Hibernate perspective, I am now able to see (for this maxTest project), the following: Configuration Session Factory Database under maxTest-ejb. I have no entities in this project yet so the HQL editor query did not work: exec: select e from Equipment e (this entity class does not exist yet in this project) error: org.hibernate.hql.ast.QuerySyntaxException: Equipment is not mapped [select e from Equipment e] This error *is expected*. So again, must we use the four folder WTP style or not to use the components view and hql editor in JBoss tools?
