Not able to generate DDL from JPA annotated classes

Question

I have a sample java project, in prototype phase, and I need to create DDL from JPA annotated class. Need to use hibernate,Mysql. My project is not a Maven project due to some company reasons. But I have Maven installed on system. So I created a pom.xml as per many solutions provided here and put that in my project folder. I tried to run mvn hibernate3:hbm2ddl but I'm getting following error.

my pom looks like following

I've persistence.xml in webcontent/META-INF folder which looks as below.

 <persistence>
        <persistence-unit name="ft-jpa">
            <description>Ft Persistence Unit</description>
                <properties>
                <property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.url" value="-----" />
        <property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.user" value="-----" />
        <property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.password" value="-----" />
                <property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect" />
            </properties>
        </persistence-unit>
    </persistence>

Answer 1

I believe you could just add javax.persistence.schema-generation.scripts.action property to persistence.xml file. Possible values are "none", "create", "drop-and-create" and "drop".
