Errors when hibernate.cfg.xml not at classpath root --------------------------------------------------- Key: JBIDE-18181 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-18181 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Bug Components: hibernate Environment: Ubuntu Trusty, Eclipse Luna, OpenJDK 7, Hibernate Tools 3.8.0.CR1-v20140826-1536-B599, Hibernate 4.1.12 Reporter: Luke Maurer Assignee: Max Rydahl Andersen Priority: Blocker Labels: respin-a Fix For: 4.2.0.CR1 If a project keeps its hibernate.cfg.xml anywhere besides the root of the classpath, Hibernate Tools will not recognize it. In the Hibernate Configurations tree, expanding either Session Factory or Database gives an error ending in “/hibernate.cfg.xml not found”. (The Configuration subtree appears to work.) As a workaround, if I go into the directory holding WEB-INF/classes (i.e. where compiled Java bytecode goes) and symlink hibernate.cfg.xml there, it seems to work.
