+ <h1>Hibernate 4 Maven Plugin</h1>
+ <h2>A simple Plugin for generating a Database-Schema from Hibernate 4 Mapping-Annotations</h2>
+ <p>
+ The <strong>hibernate4-maven-plugin</strong> is a plugin for generating a database-schema
+ from your Hibernate-4-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 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
+ hibernate4-maven-plugin only executes the schema-export, if the mapping
+ or the dialect changes (or if you force it to do so).
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ For more information about the inspiration to write this tiny plugin,
+ <a href="/hibernate4-maven-plugin-a-simple-plugin-for-generating-a-database-schema-from-hibernate-4-mapping-annotations/">read our blog-article about the hibernate4-maven-plugin</a>.

+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ See <a href="./configuration.html">Configuration Examples</a> for Usage-Explanations
+ and simple examples of how to use this plugin.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ See <a href="./export-mojo.html">hibernate4:export</a> and
+ <a href="./plugin-info.html">Plugin Documentation</a> for the full
+ autogenerated documentation. These are mostly configuration-options
+ of the Hibernate-Tools <code>SchemaExport</code> and <code>SchemaUpdate</code>, that do
+ the work in the background.
