Hibernate tools giving error in Eclipse STS when connecting to MySQL database

Question

I am using Eclipse STS 3.1.0 with Hibernate Tools 3.6.0. I am trying to connect to a MySQL 5.5 database to create my DAO classes. I am using the mysql-connector-java-5.1.21.jar mysql driver

When setting up the hibernate console file (from the Hibernate tools), I was able to successfully ping my database. Therefore, I assume that my version of the driver is fine.

After setting up the hibernate console file, when I try to create the Hibernate Reverse Engineering file (reveng.xml), I get the following error:

An internal error occurred during: "Fetching children of Database". 

I see the following stack trace in the STS error log -

 java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.slf4j.spi.LocationAwareLogger.log(Lorg/slf4j/Marker;Ljava/lang/String;ILjava/lang/String;[Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/Throwable;)V at org.apache.commons.logging.impl.SLF4JLocationAwareLog.debug(SLF4JLocationAwareLog.java:133) at org.hibernate.cfg.reveng.dialect.JDBCMetaDataDialect.getTables(JDBCMetaDataDialect.java:26) at org.hibernate.cfg.reveng.JDBCReader.processTables(JDBCReader.java:476) at org.hibernate.cfg.reveng.JDBCReader.readDatabaseSchema(JDBCReader.java:74) at org.hibernate.eclipse.console.workbench.LazyDatabaseSchemaWorkbenchAdapter$2.execute(LazyDatabaseSchemaWorkbenchAdapter.java:126) at org.hibernate.console.execution.DefaultExecutionContext.execute(DefaultExecutionContext.java:63) at org.hibernate.console.ConsoleConfiguration.execute(ConsoleConfiguration.java:107) at org.hibernate.eclipse.console.workbench.LazyDatabaseSchemaWorkbenchAdapter.readDatabaseSchema(LazyDatabaseSchemaWorkbenchAdapter.java:115) at org.hibernate.eclipse.console.workbench.LazyDatabaseSchemaWorkbenchAdapter.getChildren(LazyDatabaseSchemaWorkbenchAdapter.java:65) at org.hibernate.eclipse.console.workbench.BasicWorkbenchAdapter.fetchDeferredChildren(BasicWorkbenchAdapter.java:106) at org.eclipse.ui.progress.DeferredTreeContentManager$1.run(DeferredTreeContentManager.java:235) at org.eclipse.core.internal.jobs.Worker.run(Worker.java:54) 

I use the steps to use the Hibernate tools described in this link .

Thank any help or pointers to fix this problem. Thanks.

UPDATE

I upgraded to STS 3.2.0 and installed JBoss Tools 4.0.0

I created a simple maven quickstart project and followed all the steps mentioned in the link

In this installation, I was able to successfully generate entity classes and DAOs for database tables. I also did not have to restart STS. He did an excellent job with the first attempt.

This works fine with MySQL 5.5 as well as with Oracle 11g.

I had this problem twice. Over the past two weeks ... I had to move everything to a famous car, and I came across it again. The first time I fixed it, literally deleting any links to public posts anywhere in my pom.xml. I'm not sure if you use Maven or not, but this is no longer for me.

I, as we say, create a new project from scratch and ran into this problem at the same point.

I found very little information about this problem, which for me seems so strange as you stumble upon it, simply creating a new project with sleep mode and you can easily duplicate it.

I NEED a logging, so I plan to install this using a log. When I do this, I will send my answer. If you find a viable solution, can you send a message? Thanks!
