eclipse : gwt +maven +hibernate

Question

I am really baffled. I've been fighting against hibernate for a long time now and with no success passing run time. I got runtime exceptions when I tried it running it alone. Then I decided I should try integrating it with gwt(the original project was a gwt without hibernate) and maven. I have gwt and hibernate plugins installed via update site and maven for eclipse wtp via marketplace I've done a right click and converted the gwt+hibernate project into a maven project now I get the following error The output directory for the project should be set to /BGUSched/war/WEB-INF/classes this is my auto generated pom.xml (located in top level directory - BGUSched)

Answer 1

You can use the archeotype from:

Mojo gwt-maven-plugin

then add in the pom.xml the Hibernate dependencies.

Answer 2

Just right click on your project - Navigate to Build Path - Configure -> Java Build Path -> Source Tab -> Set up Default Output folder to BGUSched/war/WEB-INF/classes
