Kit, or SDK) as the basis for installing Hibernate Tools. At the time of writing, the latest version
of the SDK is 3.1.2.
Eclipse can be downloaded from the Eclipse Foundation web site ( www.eclipse.org ). You
will find a file named eclipse-SDK-3.1.2-win32.zip in the Downloads section.
The Hibernate team is now employed by JBoss, who provides a branded version of Eclipse
that includes the Hibernate plug-ins, including several JBoss-specific ones. This can be down-
loaded from the JBoss web site ( http://download.jboss.com/jbosside/builds ). If you choose
to use this version of Eclipse, then you can omit the installation steps described in the next
section.
Installing the Plug-In
We will now walk you through the process of installing the plug-in using Eclipse's standard
updates feature.
Select the Find and Install menu option from the Help ä Software Updates menu.
You should then select the option to search for new features, as Hibernate is not a stan-
dard Eclipse SDK component.
By default, Eclipse will only be aware of the Eclipse Foundation web site as a source of
new Eclipse features. Click the New Remote Site button shown in the upper right of Figure B-1
to add the site from which you will obtain the Hibernate Tools plug-in.
Figure B-1. By default, only www.eclipse.org is available as a download site.
You will now need to enter the URL for the site from which Eclipse will obtain the plug-in,
and an informal name for the site, into the dialog shown in Figure B-2. Presently, the down-
load site is at http://download.jboss.org/jbosside/updates/development —this is unlikely to
change, but if you encounter problems, you should check the http://tools.hibernate.org
web site to make sure that this is still listed as the update site.
