--- Enabling Debug-Output --- Kai Moritz --- If you are new to <<>>, in many cases, the {Configuration-Method-Precedence} may be the source of configuration errors. To solve this problem, you should run maven with the debugging output enabled. For example, by executing: ------------- mvn -X compile hibernate4:export ------------- (The <<>> might be necessary, because <<>> has to scan the compiled classes for annotations!) Unlike the majority of the maven-plugins, <<>> was designed to give a good many hints, when debugging is enabled. Because, if you do not know, what went wrong, you can't fix it! <> <<>> tends to be very chatty ;)
