I've never used the hibernate annotations so I can't give too much advice on that. But it should be as simple as adding hibernate-annotations as a dependency on your maven project and running 'mvn eclipse:eclipse' and/or 'mvn eclipse:add-maven-rep' to make the eclipse project files and then eclipse should be able to auto resolve those annotation imports for you. But yes, jdbcconfiguration allows you to reverse engineer a schema or generate a schema if you manually create your hbm mapping files. To use the annotationconfiguration you will need to specify which package you would like it to examine, but it should work in the same manner (generating hbm files and a schema).
Sorry, I don't have any advice on the doclet plugin. Cheers, Brice On 8/14/07, Roberto del Fuego <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi Brice, > > Thanks for the reply!
