Bugfix: database-parameters for connection were not taken from properties

The hibernate-propertiesfile was read and used for the configuration of
the SchemaExport-class, but the database-parameters from these source were
ignored, when the database-connection was opened.

Bugfix: connection was closed, even when it was never created

Bugreport from: Adriano Machado

When only the script is generated and no export is executed, no database-
connection is opend. Nevertheless, the code tried to close it in the
finally-block, which lead to a NPE.

Implemented new parameter "force"

If -Dhibernate.export.force is specified, the schema-export will be forced.

Plugin ignores upper- or lower-case mismatches for "type" and "target"

The Targets EXPORT and NONE force excecution

Otherwise, an explicitly requestes SQL-export or mapping-test-run would be
skipped, if no annotated class was modified.

If the export is skipped, this is signaled via the maven-property
hibernate.export.skipped.

Refactored name of the skip-property to an public final static String

Configuration via properties reworked

* export-type and -target are now also configurable via properties
* schema-filename, -delemiter and -format are now also configurable via
porperties

schema is now rebuild, when SQL-dialect changes

commit a2859d3177a64880ca429d4dfd9437a7fb78dede
Author: Kai Moritz
Date: Tue Dec 11 17:30:19 2012 +0100

Skipping of unchanged scenarios is now based on MD5-sums of all classes

When working with Netbeans, the schema was often rebuild without need.
The cause of this behaviour was, that Netbeans (or Maven itself) sometimes
touches unchanged classes. To avoid this, hibernat4-maven-plugin now
calculates MD5-sums for all annotated classes and compares these instead of
the last-modified value.

hibernate4:export is skipped, when annotated classes are unchanged

Hbm2DdlMojo now checks the last-modified-timestamp of all found annotated
classes and aborts the schema-generation, when no class has changed and no
new class was added since the last execution.

It then sets a maven-property, to indicate to other plugins, that the
generation was skipped.

hibernate4-maven-plugin 1.0 released!

Yeah! We successfully released our first artifact to Central.

hibernate4-maven-plugin is now available in the Central Maven Repository

That means, that you now can use it without manually downloading and adding it to your local repository.

Simply define it in your plugins-section…

  1.0

…and there you go!

hibernate4-maven-plugin

A simple Plugin for generating a Database-Schema from Hibernate 4 Mapping-Annotations

Hibernate comes with the buildin functionality, to automatically create or update the database schema. This functionality is configured in the session-configuraton via the parameter hbm2ddl.auto (see Hibernate Reference Documentation – Chapter 3.4. Optional configuration properties). But doing so is not very wise, because you can easily corrupt or erase your production database, if this configuration parameter slips through to your production environment.

Alternatively, you can run the tools SchemaExport or SchemaUpdate by hand. But that is not very comfortable and being used to maven you will quickly long for a plugin, that does that job automatically for you, when you fire up your test cases.

In the good old times, there was the Maven Hibernate3 Plugin, that does this for you. But unfortunatly, this plugin is not compatible with Hibernate 4.x. Since there does not seem to be any successor for the Maven Hibernate3 Plugin and googeling does not help, I decided to write up this simple plugin (inspired by these two articles I found: Schema Export with Hibernate 4 and Maven and Schema generation with Hibernate 4, JPA and Maven).

I hope, the resulting simple to use buletproof hibernate4-maven-plugin is usefull!

Try it out now!
