-
-<p>
- The <b>hibernate-maven-plugin</b> is a plugin for generating a database-schema
- from your Hibernate-Mappings and create or update your database
- accordingly.
- Its main usage is to automatically create and populate a test-database
- for unit-tests in cooperation with the
- <a class="externalLink" href="http://mojo.codehaus.org/dbunit-maven-plugin">dbunit-maven-plugin</a>.
- </p>
-
-<p>
- The plugin was designed with three main goals in mind:
- </p>
-
-<ul>
-
-<li>It should be easy to use.</li>
-
-<li>It should be maximal unlikely, to erase a producation-database by accident.</li>
-
-<li>It should not slow down the development cycle.</li>
- </ul>
-
-<p>
- 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 <a href="./debugging.html">debugging output</a> with the <code>mvn -X ...</code>.
- </p>
-
-<p>
- 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.
- </p>
-
-<p>
- Last but not least, in order to not slow down the development cycle, the
- hibernate-maven-plugin only executes the generated SQL, if the mapping
- or the configuration has changed (or if you force it to do so).
- </p>
