4.0 with Hibernate 3

Just a note so that others won’t get as frustrated.

When MyEclipse generates the Hibernate hbm.xml files it will make them with a 2.0 DOCTYPE element. If you leave them that way they will work okay BUT …

if your internet connectivity goes down you get a cryptic failure to connect message … so you really need to replace them with the following code:

<!DOCTYPE hibernate-mapping PUBLIC
“-//Hibernate/Hibernate Mapping DTD//EN”
“http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-mapping-3.0.dtd”&gt;

THEN everything works great 🙂

May all your JUnit tests run clean
