Hello Charles To output to a file, you just need to check that you have configured the following parameter "outputFile" as described here: http://mojo.codehaus.org/hibernate3-maven-plugin/hbm2ddl-mojo.html
Once the plugin sees that you have specified that parameter, it won't attempt to write in the database, instead it would do it in the file just specified. *note* Just specify a filename like "dll-schema.sql" not a file path.

See, I think I was mislead by what hibernate3:hbm2ddl is supposed to do. I wanted it to generate a bunch of text files with a bunch of CREATE statements. Instead, it connects to my database and creates the tables for me. I can't stop it from doing that. If I don't put in a connection URL to the database, it fails. And I have setup the <outputDirectory> correctly in the <plugin> setup, still nothing. Can someone send me their exact setup so that I can try this again. And, just to be sure. Is this possible? I do NOT want to have the tables created automatically. I just want text files. Thanks.
