Error fetching SQL Server 2008 database with JBOSS Tools 3.3 and JBOSS 7.1

Question

While trying to create a Hibernate Configuration using JBOSS Tools (to access a database schema in SQLServer 2008) I get an error.

After creating the Hibernate Mapping file (an empty one) and the Hibernate Configuration File, and the Console Configuration, I try to open the Database in the the Hibernate configuration, I get this error:

The hibernate.cfg.xml is like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC
    "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN"
    "http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">
<hibernate-configuration>
<session-factory>
    <property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver</property>
    <property name="hibernate.connection.password">password</property>
    <property name="hibernate.connection.url">jdbc:sqlserver://XX.XX.XX.XX:1433;DatabaseName=TESTDEV</property>
    <property name="hibernate.connection.username">TEST</property>
    <property name="hibernate.default_schema">TESTDEV</property>
    <property name="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.SQLServerDialect</property>
</session-factory>

Am I doing anything wrong or is this a problem of JBoss Tools?

EDIT: While creating a console configuration, if I choose the "database connection" and edit it,it also fails to test the connection, getting the same error as before:

Ping failed: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: The TCP/IP connection to the host 10.16.14.36, port 1433 has failed. Error: "Connect timed out. Verify the connection properties. Make sure that an instance of SQL Server is running on the host and accepting TCP/IP connections at the port. Make sure that TCP connections to the port are not blocked by a firewall.".

I can access the database with the same properties using SQuirreL, or by pinging in an Eclipse that doesn't have JBoss Tools installed...

Ok, the problem was with the proxy definition :)
