I'm upgrading an old project from hibernate3 to hibernate5. The project has a dependency on hbm2java (the so-called reverse engineering tool). In the old project this was executed with mvn hibernate3:hbm2java.
Unfortunately, hbm2java is nowhere to be found in Hibernate5 - not in the code, not in the documentation.
What is the Hibernate5 equivalent of the old hbm2java? Or in case it's no longer supported, what's the closest alternative? I'm willing to get out of Hibernate entirely, if that's what it takes to get out of Hibernate 3.
You can use maven ant runner. It may help.
mvn antrun:run@hbm2java
If you have modified templates (see the documentation) then, in pom.xml, modify the hibernate tool tag to look like:
<hibernatetool templatepath="src/the/path/to/the/directory/containing/pojo/directory">
The above path must point to the parent of the directory named pojo, containing your templates.
Also, if you have a custom reverse engineering strategy class the, in pom.xml add this attribute to jdbcconfiguration tag.
reversestrategy="fully.qualified.name.CustomDelegatingReverseEngineeringStrategy"

I haven't checked it but you can try with this procedure using Hibernate 5.X version.
This issue seems critical in Hibernate 5.x version. All recommendation is to use 4.3 version for reverse engineering instead of 5.x

Step by step tutorial to use 4.3 instead of 5.1 with pictorial view is given here: http://o7planning.org/en/10125/using-hibernate-tools-generate-entity-classes-from-tables
<schema-selection> tag is specifiedThis issues is required to resolve by hand (it's just basic XML) or you can use the Hibernate plugins, which provides a specialized editor. http://www.hibernate.org/30.html
For reverse engineering rule, you can go through this tutorial: Chapter 6. Controlling reverse engineering
