eclipse hibernate plugin

Question

Hi folks,

Can somebody guide me how to install Hibernate tools in Eclipse. I am using Eclipse 3.3 ( I can upgrade to 3.4). I can use Hibernate 3.0 or 2.0.

I am not able to install the plugin. Its not getting detected. The update site gives error saying that WTP is required. When I try to install that, it again give some dependency error EFt etc.

I am going crazy, isn't there one package install for all this.

Answer 1

This is what I always do, and it works for me:

1. Get the java ee version of Eclipse, yes I would get 3.4 here.
2. Install the Hibernate plugin here.

It does say on the hibernate tools page:
"Requirements: Eclipse WTP 3.4 or Ant, Decent driver and database"

So I might guess that 3.3 is what is causing your issues. Good luck!
