First, if you go to the Hibernate website, you will find a link to  
the right documentation (it's actually the same than the old one you  
discovered through some other channel):

http://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/tools/reference/en/html/ 
setup.html#d0e23

Second, the requirements clearly say "Eclipse", not "totally broken  
IBM stuff". So please contact your IBM sales guy if their software  
doesn't work.

Third, you want to go to http://forum.hibernate.org.
