[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-23995?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugi... ] Adam J. Griff, PhD commented on JBIDE-23995: -------------------------------------------- Problem solved but not exactly sure of the fix. Recap of the issue: Running the Hibernate Reverse Code Generation works. Then something happens and the hibernate.connection.password in the properties window shows it is replaced with 4 stars (****). Then I could not get it to work again. Fix: Created a new Database Connection. In Hibernate perspective, right-clicked in the Hibernate Configurations pane on my Configuration and selected "edit configuration". Then changed Database Connection to my new DB connection and saved. Right-clicked on the configuration and selected "Rebuild configuration" Now the password is no longer **** but the actual password and things work. The issue can't be fixed by anything in the persistence.xml, hibernate.properties, or hibernate.cfg.xml files. So, there is some issue but think the solution is documentation on how to avoid this issue or configure correctly so this does not happen. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.2.3#72005)
