Reverse engineering with custom ReverseEgineeringStrategy

Question

I want to do reverse engineering (generate java classes from my database) with a custom ReverseEgineeringStrategy. I succeeded to do this using hibernate-tools plugin for eclipse. But I want to use hibernate3-maven-plugin to do this. I searched a lot for an example but neither of the examples I found worked for me.

If anyone know how we can do this, I appreciate his help.

Answer 1

I have tried hibernate3-maven-plugin version 3.0

<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate3-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.0</version>

Unfortunately I had errors and I didn't succeeded to make it work (messages of exceptions didn't help me a lot neither).

So I tried the version 2.2 and it works perfectly, here my pom.xml

        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
            <artifactId>hibernate3-maven-plugin</artifactId>
