A simple Plugin for generating a Database-Schema from Hibernate 4 Mapping-Annotations. <> is a plugin for generating a database-schema from your Hibernate-4-Mappings and create or update your database accordingly. The plugin was designed with three main goals in mind: * It should be easy to use. * It should be maximal unlikely, to erase a producation-database by accident. * It should not slow down the development cycle. To achieve the first goal, the convention-over-configuration paradigma was applied and the plugin was stuffed with usefull logging-messages. So, if in doubt, just turn on the {{{./debugging.html} debugging output}} with the <<>>. To achieve the second goal, the precedence in which the configuration locations are consulted was layouted in a way that makes it possible, to prevent overwrites of the wrong database by accident. Last but not least, in order to not slow down the development cycle, the hibernate4-maven-plugin only executes the schema-export, if the mapping or the dialect changes (or if you force it to do so).

These are mostly configuration-options of the Hibernate-Tools <<>> and <<>>, that do the work in the background. * Releases * {{{http://juplo.de/hibernate4-maven-plugin} current version}} * ${project.version} (this version) * {{{http://juplo.de/hibernate4-maven-plugin-1.0.2} 1.0.2}} * {{{http://juplo.de/hibernate4-maven-plugin-1.0.1} 1.0.1}} * {{{http://juplo.de/hibernate4-maven-plugin-1.0} 1.0}}
