Step by step Installation of JBoss Tools - Hibernate plugin in Eclipse Kepler

Hibernate JBoss tool eases developer's work with JPA (or Hibernate). You can easily generate lot of stuff related to Hibernate which is difficult (and error prone) while doing manually.

       You can generate Hibernate configurations (*.hbm.cfg.xml), java model classes and mapping file or annotated model classes. Basically it follows concept of reverse-engineering. So if you are not using hbm2ddl to generate Tables from Java model then this plugin will help you generate model classes from existing Tables.

This is Eclipse used in this post.

Click on : Hep --> Install New Software
