Hibernate Tools 3.1.0.beta3 - New and Noteworthy

Previous new and noteworthy for 3.1.0beta2


General


Hibernate Tools Core improvements

This release does not add much new functionallity, but has some updated documentation and bugfixes (see JIRA release notes). I recommend to check out previous new and noteworthy's to see screenshots of the latest added features


Reverse engineering


Version/optimistic locking

Reverse engineering now automatically makes columns named "VERSION" into <version> tags.

If you don't want this behavior then provide your own reverse engineering strategy that returns false in the method useColumnForOptimisticLock. In a future version there will be a more userfriendly toggle for it.


Reverse Engineering Strategy in Eclipse UI

It is now possible to specify a custom ReverseEngineeringStrategy in the Eclipse UI. This have been available in the Ant tasks for a while, and now also in the UI


Code Generation


Updated JBoss Seam exporter

Last release brought an exporter that generates a basic CRUD JBoss Seam application. In this version this has been made complete and now generates a full working Seam application; read the generated README.TXT for details on how to deploy it
