About Hibernate 3 plugin for Maven

In one of my previous entries, I had something really cool on my POM, which basically generated the DataBase based on my Entyties (or Domain objects), and that was the Hibernate 3 plugin for Maven
As you will see on the official documentation for that plugin, you can do a bunch of things, but it doesn't says anything about, generating Java classes based on the Tables, right? In other words, if I want my model java files (obtained by reveng) compiled, you don't need to run hbm2hbmxml.
I found the solution to this issue (unfortunately is not documented, and that's why you see it here):

Plugin configuration <plugin> <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId> <artifactId>hibernate3-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.2</version> <configuration> <components> <component> <name>hbm2java</name> <outputDirectory>src/main/java</outputDirectory> <implementation>jdbcconfiguration</implementation> </component> </components> <componentProperties> <!--Reverse Eng using hbm2java: ejb3 give us annotated classes --> <revengfile>/src/main/resources/reveng/model_reveng.xml</revengfile> <propertyfile>/src/main/resources/META-INF/hibernate.properties</propertyfile> <jdk5>true</jdk5> <ejb3>true</ejb3> <format>true</format> </componentProperties> </configuration> <dependencies> <!--Dependencia al driver jdbc de la bd a la que necesites trabajar --> <dependency> <groupId>mysql</groupId> <artifactId>mysql-connector-java</artifactId> <version>5.1.6</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>cglib</groupId> <artifactId>cglib-nodep</artifactId> <version>2.1_3</version> </dependency> </dependencies> </plugin>
hibernate.properties

hibernate.connection.username=root
hibernate.connection.password=secretit0
hibernate.connection.url=jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/little_store
hibernate.connection.driver_class=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5InnoDBDialect
hibernate.default_schema=little_store

model_reveng.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE hibernate-reverse-engineering SYSTEM "http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-reverse-engineering-3.0.dtd"> <hibernate-reverse-engineering> <table-filter match-name=".*" package="YOUR PACKAGE GOES HERE"/> </hibernate-reverse-engineering>
Then the last step is executing Maven:

mvn hibernate3:hbm2java

And we're ready to roll! :)
