You can only run one Criteria Query before it locks up and you can not run/edit your existing query. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBIDE-736 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBIDE-736 Project: JBoss Tools Issue Type: Bug Components: Hibernate Affects Versions: 2.0.0.Beta3 Environment: Linux Fedora Core 6 Reporter: Jim Tyrrell Attachments: Criteria_Screen_Shot.png When you work in the Hibernate Configurations area and click on a Criteria Query you are only able to run the Query once and then close the the window if you want to edit the Criteria query. It seems the area I can type in is "shutdown" from any more typing after the green arrow "play" button is pressed once.
