27.2.2. Creating a Hibernate Console configuration
A Console Configuration describes to the Hibernate plugin which configuration files should be used to configure hibernate, including which classpath is needed to load the POJO's, JDBC drivers etc. It is required to make usage of query prototyping, reverse engineering and code generation. You can have multiple named console configurations. Normally you would just need one per project, but more (or less) is definitly possible.
You create a console configuration by running the Console Configuration wizard, shown in the following screenshot. The same wizard will also be used if you are coming from the hibernate.cfg.xml wizard and had enabled "Create Console Configuration".
The following table describes the relevant settings. The wizard can automatically detect default values for most of these if you started the Wizard with the relevant java project selected
Clicking "Finish" creates the configuration and shows it in the "Hibernate Configurations" view
