generate annotated java class from hbm file

Question

I have an old project in which java classes are generated from hbm files.

Is it possible ,using these hbm files, to generate java classes with annotations?

yes with netbeans i did that , during generation (reverse ingenering) it demande to me if i want to use xml file ou annotations — Abder KRIMA, Jul 06 '15 at 10:12

We have had the same issue and solved it by using this hbm to annotation converter script https://github.com/SchweizerischeBundesbahnen/hibernate_hbm2annotation

You can use a hibernate reverse engeneering tool, but for generating annoted classes from database not from hbm's.

Actually, generated classes aren't annotated at all and are wrong in many ways. – Vladimir Vaschenko Apr 19 '19 at 08:50

I don't think you can do it directly from hbm to annotations, but it's possible to do it if you proceed like this:

Generate the database schema from your hbm configuration.
Use Hibernate reverse engeneering to generate annotated classes from this database.
