Hibernate tools provide:

• Mapping Editor: An editor for Hibernate XML mapping files, supporting auto-completion and syntax highlighting. It also supports semantic auto-completion for class names and property/field names, making it much more versatile than a normal XML editor.
• Console: The console is a new view in Eclipse. In addition to a tree overview of your console configurations, you also get an interactive view of your persistent classes and their relationships. The console allows you to execute HQL queries against your database and browse the result directly in Eclipse.
• Development Wizards: Several wizards are provided with the Hibernate Eclipse tools; you can use a wizard to quickly generate Hibernate configuration (cfg.xml) files, or you may even completely reverse engineer an existing database schema into POJO source files and Hibernate mapping files. The reverse engineering wizard supports customizable templates.

• Passing:

  - Install sqldb (from hsqdb.org). Create a table somehow (best solution is to run quantum test before this one) Run the server by using the "runServer.sh" found in the "demo" folder. 
          - File > New > Project, Java > Java project, give name, OK
          - File > New > Others, Hibernate > Hibernate configuration file, give name, next
          - enter: database dialect: HSQL, driver class: org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver, connection url: jdbc:hsqldb:hsql://localhost, user name: sa, password empty, check "create a console configuration", next. give a name to the Console Configuration. In \'classpath\' tab, select \'add external jar\', locate \'hsqldb.jar\', ok, finish.
