>             Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 3.1.0.M3
>         Environment: JBDS linux and Windows
>            Reporter: Shaun Appleton

> When I reverse engineer entities from a database you cannot change the database and reverse engineer different entities.
> It would appear reverse engineering entities ties you to one database
> To replicate:
> Create a Seam project and generate entities as described in http://docs.jboss.org/tools/2.1.0.GA/en/GettingStartedGuide/html_single/index.html#first_seam section 3.5.1
> Then select the project and change the database to a different running database by changing the database connection profile in the seam settings. Verify the latest database can be pinged.
> Select the project and select File new generate entities and follow the dialogs through until you get to the Generate Entities Dialog. A <couldn't connect to database> error is shown in the database schema window.
> i.e. the new database connection is not picked up.
> It appears that when the database is changed in the Seam Settings connection profile the hibernate-console.properties are not kept in synch. So when an attempt to reverse engineer the database is tried the old connection settings are used even though they have recently been changed.
> If this is a technical limitation then there should be some warning in the docs that changing the database after generating the entities won't work. Plus have the connections profile bit greyed-out so it can't be altered.
> But ideally the hibernate-console.properties file should be synchronised with the Seam Settings connection profile.
> I tried deleting the hibernate-console.properties to try and force it to create a new hibernate-console.properties file with the correct settings but file but that didn't work either.
