I installed the Hibernate plug-in on Eclipse from here.

Installation is successful-- I'm now seeing Hibernate as an option in Window > Open Perspective.

I've set the properties on the project itself-- Enable Hibernate support is now checked in Properties > Hibernate Settings. Also, Hibernate Builder is checked (was automatically) in Properties Builders.

However, Java is not seeing Hibernate-- I'm getting errors to all Hibernate imports in my source code. When I attempt to "Fix project setup..." in the editor, I get "No proposals found ... click for manual configuration."

What am i missing?

I downloaded Hibernate plug-in to get around this manual fix for one thing. The same code is working all fine when I manually add the jars to the project build path.

I'm using Eclipse Luna 4.4.2

TIA.

//-------------------------

EDIT:

While autocreating persistence.xml, Eclipse is (must be) looking at the version of Hibernate plug-in, not the jars on the project's build-path.

And that's causing a version conflict in between JPA and ORM. See the accepted answer here for reference.

Burned me half a day.

The plug-ins make Eclipse Hibernate-aware, not necessarily your project. Your project still must be configured (either manually or via a dependency management tool like Maven or Gradle) with the appropriate Hibernate JARs. It's the difference between development-time (the Eclipse plug-ins), compile-time (JARs on the build path) and runtime (JARs on the runtime classpath).

It would be nice if the plug-in provided a Quick Fix (à la Fix project setup...) that offered to download and/or add Hibernate JARs to your project, but as far as I know that's not something they implemented.
