First,we need any database explorer btw sqlexplorer (ex JFaceDBC – JfaceDBC is now comercial ) – it is on java.net
Hybernate Sync is great, but need better database access for reverse eng.
and better control for generated persistent class and DAO – now generated DAO and persistent classes hide power of hinernate btw criteria query

It be nice add spring IoC, but can be trivial

As an aside, having a generic graphical mapping tool for XML to Objects would be cool. This could be used as the basis for the Hibernate specific graphical mapping tool. This would allow you to step in to web service type graphical mappings as well. Imagine a web service to Hibernate graphical mapping tool… 🙂

Take a look at

This is approximately what I would like to see implemented in MyEclipse

I wonder how many of us can advertise ORM Studio on this thread? 🙂

1. middlegen like roundtrip from the db and back, based on velocity templates, so one could add plugins for other code gen things.
2. sql 2 hql tool (and a hibern8te like prompt)
3. hbm2java + hbm2ddl ui invokers
4. xdoclet me feature for a bean, adds template based tags to a javabean

just my wishes

well there are various things which a good hibernate integration needs.
first of all a generation of mapping files out of existing classes is nice (don´t know if the hibernate synchronizer does this already), secondly, some kind of reverse engineering of the mapping from an existing db would also be excellent.
(I currently do that with middlegen and ant, works quite well this way)
and in the third, once some kind of case tool integration in myeclipse is added, a generation of classes and mappings out of case diagrams would be an excellent option.

But I think to achieve fast results probably a combination of middlegen and hibernate synchronizer could do the trick for the most basic tasks.
