Hibernate Synchronizer — Hibernating in Eclipse

If you use the Hibernate object-relational mapping framework,
sooner or later you’ll want something to make the work easier. A useful helper
is the Hibernate Synchronizer plug-in
for the Eclipse development environment.

Hibernate Synchronizer can do quite a lot.

• Code generation (POJOs, DAOs and so on) from hbm.xml mapping files.
• An XML editor with code assistance for Hibernate files
• Creating templates for code generation
• Defining actions that can be hooked up to specific tasks
• And, of course, wizards

James Elliott covered Eclipse plug-ins for working with Hibernate in
Working with Hibernate in Eclipse. The article
goes through Hibernate Synchronizer in detail, including installation, and also links to
the HiberClipse and Hibernator plug-ins with a short description of each.
