Hibernate3 Maven Plugin ERROR: Could not create or find "MyReverseStrategy.java" with one argument delegate constructor?

Question

I am using Hibernate3 Maven Plugin to reverse engineering, this is a part of my pom.xml

<plugin>
            <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
            <artifactId>hibernate3-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.2</version>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <id>hbm2java</id>
                    <phase>generate-sources</phase>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>hbm2java</goal>
                    </goals>
                    <configuration>
                        <components>
                            <component>
                                <name>hbm2java</name>
                                <implementation>jdbcconfiguration</implementation>
                                <outputDirectory>target/generatedClasses</outputDirectory>
                            </component>

                        </components>
                        <componentProperties>
                            <jdk5>true</jdk5>
                            <ejb3>false</ejb3>
                            <revengfile>/src/main/resources/reverse/engineering/hibernate.reveng.xml</revengfile>
                            <reversestrategy>/src/main/resources/reverse/engineering/MyReverseEngineeringStrategy.java</reversestrategy>
                            <propertyfile>src/main/resources/hibernate.properties</propertyfile>
                            <configurationFile>target/generatedClasses/hibernate.cfg.xml</configurationFile>
                        </componentProperties>
                    </configuration>
                </execution>

It looks that the connection to the database is ok, but it create classes following the default reverseStrategy and not the one I declared "MyReverseEngineeringStrategy.java". And I get this error in the stacktrace.

Using the hibernate tools plugin on eclipse I was able to generate classes with my reverse strategy but I want my project to be independent from eclipse. Any suggestions!

Answer 1

It was so silly but the message of the error didn't help me. So the problem was with

 <reversestrategy>/src/main/resources/reverse/engineering/MyReverseEngineeringStrategy.java</reversestrategy>

When I changed to the following,

 <reversestrategy>reverse.engineering.MyReverseEngineeringStrategy</reversestrategy>

it worked perfectly.
