Documentation doesnt explain how to create audited tables
---------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HHH-7106
                 URL: https://hibernate.onjira.com/browse/HHH-7106
             Project: Hibernate ORM
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: envers
    Affects Versions: 4.0.1
            Reporter: Paul Taylor


The documentation doesnt explain how to create audited tables, it implies by just putting evers on your classpath (and creating event listeners on versions of hibernate earlier than 4) it will just work but it doesn't. To get it to work I add to add 

config.setProperty(Environment.HBM2DDL_AUTO, "create-drop");

to my configuration, without this a call to 

new SchemaExport(config).create(true, true);

would not create the audited tables.

Even now I'm not sure this is the correct way to do things but it is the only thing I've got to work. Although you might think this an unimportant issue because it is only documentation you would underestimate how difficult and fustrating it is to deleve into a new project when the documentation is inadequate, it almost led to be abandoning Envers.
