Paul Taylor commented on HHH-7106:
----------------------------------

Thanks, yes the first line of 15.9 says 'If you'd like to generate the database schema file with the Hibernate Tools Ant task, you'll probably notice that the generated file doesn't contain definitions of audit tables.' but I didn't want to generate schema from ant because I dont use ant (I use maven) so I ignored this section. I incorrectly assumed they would be created by new SchemaExport(config).create(true, true) like the other table are without Environment.HBM2DDL_AUTO being set but they are not.

> 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.
