55 hibernate-maven-plugin by default scans dependencies in the scope
56 <tt>compile</tt>. You can configure it to scan dependencies in other
57 scopes as well. But it scans only direct dependencies. Transitive
58 dependencies are not scanned for annotated classes. If some of your
59 annotated classes are hidden in a transitive dependency, you can simply
60 add that dependency explicitly.
64 <h2><a name="hibernate-maven-plugin_always_needs_a_database-connection"></a>hibernate-maven-plugin always needs a database-connection</h2>
67 The default-configuration exports the created schema to the configured
69 Therefore, it needs a valid database-connection and fails, if none is
71 If you do not need to export the created schema to a database,
72 you can set the property <tt>hibernate.schema.export</tt> to
74 This can be achieved with the command-line parameter
75 <tt>-Dhibernate.schema.export=false</tt> or with the following
80 <pre class="prettyprint linenums lang-html">
82 <export>false</export>
83 </configuration></pre></div>
86 But even when no database is to be created, hibernate always needs to know
87 the dialect. Hence, the plugin will still fail, if this parameter is also
92 <h2><a name="Dependency_for_driver-class_XYZ_is_missing"></a>Dependency for driver-class XYZ is missing</h2>
95 One regular problem is the scope of the jdbc-driver-dependency.
96 It is very unlikely, that this dependency is needed at compile-time.
97 So a tidy maven-developer would usually scope it for <tt>runtime</tt>.
101 But this will break the execution of the <tt>hibernate-maven-plugin</tt>.
102 Since it will not be able to see the needed dependency, it will fail with
103 an error-message like:
107 <pre class="prettyprint">

139 A quick workaround for this error would be, to delete the runtime-constraint
140 for the jdbc-driver-dependency.
144 A much cleaner way is, to (additionally) ad the dependency, to the
149 <pre class="prettyprint linenums lang-html">
151 <groupId>de.juplo</groupId>
152 <artifactId>hibernate-maven-plugin</artifactId>
153 <version>2.0.0</version>
157 <goal>drop</goal>
158 <goal>create</goal>
164 <groupId>org.hsqldb</groupId>
165 <artifactId>hsqldb</artifactId>
166 <version>2.2.8</version>
168 </dependencies>
169 </plugin></pre></div>
172 This is also the best way, if you use a different jdbc-driver for
173 testing, than in production.
174 Because otherwise, this dependency will unnecessarily bloat the
175 runtime-dependencies of your project.
178 <div class="section" id="fails">
179 <h2 id="fails">DBUnit fails after execution of hibernate was skipped because nothing has changed</h2>
182 If hibernate-maven-plugin skips its excecution, this may lead to errors in
184 For example, when importing sample-data in the automatically created database
185 with the help of the <a class="externalLink" href="http://mojo.codehaus.org/dbunit-maven-plugin/">dbunit-plugin</a>,
186 the <tt>CLEAN_INSERT</tt>-operation may fail because of foreign-key-constraints,
187 if the database was not recreated, because the hibernate-maven-plugin has
188 skipped its excecution.
192 A quick fix to this problem is, to <a href="./force.html">force</a>
193 hibernate-maven-plugin to export the schema every time it is running.
194 But to recreate the database on every testrun may noticeable slow down your
195 development cycle, if you have to wait for slow IO.
199 To circumvent this problem, hibernate-maven-plugin signals a skipped
200 excecution by setting the maven property <tt>${hibernate.schema.skipped}</tt> to
202 You can configure other plugins to react on this signal.
203 For example, the dbunit-plugin can be configured to skip its excecution, if
204 hibernate-maven-plugin was skipped like this:
208 <pre class="prettyprint linenums lang-html">
210 <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
211 <artifactId>dbunit-maven-plugin</artifactId>
212 <configuration>
213 <skip>${hibernate.schema.skipped}</skip>
214 </configuration>
215 </plugin></pre></div>
217 <div class="section">
218 <h2><a name="The_database_will_not_be_recreated_after_a_manual_dropclean"></a>The database will not be recreated after a manual drop/clean</h2>
221 If one manually drops the database or removes the hsqldb-files, it will not
222 be recreated by the hibernate-maven-plugin, because it cannot detect, that
223 the database needs to be recreated.
224 This happens, because the plugin will not recreate the database if neither
225 the configuration nor the annotated classes have changed, because an
226 unnecessary drop-create-cycle might take a long time. The plugin will
227 report that like this:
231 <pre class="prettyprint">
232 [INFO] No modified annotated classes found and dialect unchanged.
233 [INFO] Skipping schema generation!</pre></div>
236 If one always uses <tt>mvn clean</tt> for cleanup, this will not happen.
237 Otherwise the recreation must be <a href="./force.html">forced</a>:
241 <pre class="prettyprint">
242 mvn hibernate:create -Dhibernate.schema.force=true</pre></div>
244 <div class="section">
245 <h2><a name="The_hibernate:create_goal_is_not_executed_when_tests_are_skipped"></a>The hibernate:create goal is not executed, when tests are skipped</h2>
248 The hibernate-maven-plugin automatically skips its execution, when
249 <tt>maven.test.skip</tt> is set to <tt>true</tt>. If you need it to be always
250 executed, you can configure that explicitly like this:
254 <pre class="prettyprint linenums lang-html">
256 <groupId>de.juplo</groupId>
257 <artifactId>hibernate-maven-plugin</artifactId>
259 <configuration>
260 <skip>false</skip>
261 </configuration>
262 </plugin></pre></div>
265 Background-information for this design-decission can be found on the extra
266 page <a href="./skip.html">To skip or not to skip: that is the question</a>...
269 <div class="section">
270 <h2><a name="I_do_not_want_my_dependencies_to_be_scanned_for_hibernate_annotations"></a>I do not want my dependencies to be scanned for hibernate annotations</h2>
273 If you do not want your dependencies to be scanned for hibernate annotations,
274 you can pass <tt>-Dhibernate.schema.scan.dependencies=none</tt> to maven
275 or set <tt>scanDependencies</tt> to <tt>none</tt> in the configuration
276 of the plugin like this:
280 <pre class="prettyprint linenums lang-html">
282 <groupId>de.juplo</groupId>
283 <artifactId>hibernate-maven-plugin</artifactId>
285 <configuration>
286 <scanDependencies>none</scanDependencies>
287 </configuration>
288 </plugin></pre></div>
290 <div class="section">
291 <h2><a name="No_annotated_classes_found"></a>No annotated classes found</h2>
294 If you are working under Windows and get the error-message
295 <tt>No annotated classes found in directory C:\projects\X Y Z\path-to-project\target\classes</tt>,
296 but you are really sure, that there are annotated classes in that
297 directory, you are expiriencing a bug, in the scannotation-library, that
298 was closed in version 1.1.0 of the hibernate-maven-plugin.
303 You should consider to upgrade to the latest version of the plugin.
