Downloading Hibernate Make a choice whether you want to install Hibernate on Windows, or Unix and then proceed to the next step to download . zip file for windows and . tz file for Unix. Download the latest version of Hibernate from http://www.hibernate.org/downloads.
Hibernate Tools is a toolset for Hibernate implemented as an integrated suite of Eclipse plugins, together with a unified Ant task for integration into the build cycle. Hibernate Tools is a core component of JBoss Tools and hence also part of JBoss Developer Studio. The following features are available within Eclipse.
Hibernate allows developer to specify mapping through XML file or annotations embedded right in the Java source file. We go with the XML mapping. In Eclipse, create a new XML file called Contact.hbm.xml under package com.mycompany, with the following content: 1.
Well, most convenient and safest way is to use JBoss update site within Eclipse software updates (Help -> Software Updates... -> Add Site...):
The latest stable release update site for JBoss Tools
There you can find Hibernate tools together with other handy JBoss plugins.
Find the stable version of the hibernate plugin (Zip or URL for auto update) in the below URL. http://www.jboss.org/tools/download
Do not install everything though. You just need:
That's all!
In 2013, you will be probably using the latest versions of Eclipse and Hibernate. For Eclipse-4.2.2. and JBoss Tools 4.0 you need:
Then you are ready to go!
Instructions for Eclipse Indigo:
Once installed click on Window -> Show View -> Others. A new window pops up. Click on folder Hibernate and select Hibernate Configurations to setup a DB connection. It is possible to setup a new connection using an existing Hiberbate properties file or creating a JDBC connection.
Once setup your DB connection click on Ping to test everything is correct.
Lastly, click on the Open HQL Editor button (third button on the top Hibernate Configurations menu) to run a HQL query.
Go to the menu Help > Install New Software and click the Add button.
Use something like JBoss Hibernate for the name and insert the following URL for the location:
http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/neon/stable/updates/
Wait for the product tree to load and then expand the JBoss Web and Java EE Development folder and select the Hibernate Tools product and click the Next > button. Then follow on accepting all the subsequent questions, licence, etc.
When the installation is finished, restart Eclipse as required. After that, to open the Hibernate perspective go to the menu Window > Perspective > Open Perspective > Others and search for Hibernate.

Since it is for Ganymede (eclipse 3.4), I would advise to uncompress the zip in the dropins in the HibernateTools-3.2.4.Beta1-R20081031133 directory created after the name of the archive.
Once it is done, create in the [eclipse\dropins\HibernateTools-3.2.4.Beta1-R20081031133] an 'eclipse' directory, in which you will move the plugins and features directories creating at the extraction of the files of the archive.
Add a .exclipseextension in [eclipse\dropins\HibernateTools-3.2.4.Beta1-R20081031133\eclipse]:
name=QuickRex
id=org.hibernate.eclipse
version=3.2.4b1
So:
eclipse
dropins
HibernateTools-3.2.4.Beta1-R20081031133
eclipse
.eclipseextension
features
plugins
Relaunch eclipse and the plugin Hibernate should be detected.
If you install another eclipse, just copy the content of your dropins directory to the new eclipse\dropins and your set of plugins will be detected again.
In Eclipse IDE, menu bar, select Help >> Install New Software … put the Eclipse update site URL "download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/stable/Eclipse_Version”
Select the tool and click on Next. Do not select all the tools; it will install all the unnecessary tools. We just need hibernate tools.
Accept licence agreement and click finish.It will take some minutes to complete installation process.
After installation, restart the eclipse to verify whether Hibernate tools is installed properly,we will look at Hibernate Perspective in Eclipse->>Window->>Open Perspective->>Other
If you don’t have the internet connection and want the offline method to add hibernate tools in eclipse. To install the Hibernate Tools, extract the HibernateTools-5.X.zip file and move all the files inside the features folder into the features folder of the eclipse installation directory and move all the files inside the plugins folder into the plugins folder of the ecilpse installation directory.
After restart, Go to Eclipse->>Window->>Open Perspective->>Other, the following dialog box appears, select Hibernate and click the Ok button.
That’s it . We successfully installed JBoss Hibernate Tools in Eclipse. :) now Happy Coding
