eclipse plugin to create hibernate annotated entities?

Question

i know that hibernate tools can create hibernate entities but the hibernate mapping will be in XML file, but i was wondering if there's a tool to create hibernate entities and the mapping will be with annotations not in XML.

Answer 1

Write your java code and use Source > Generate Hibernate/Jpa annotations and hibernate tools will do an attempt to add necessary annotations based on that

Answer 2

Hibernate tools can also generate the annotated entities by reverse engineering of your database. You have to choose Generate EJB3 annotations and Domain code(.java) . Refer to the 4.5. Reverse Engineering and Code Generation more info.
