Hibernate tools can also generate the annotated entities by reverse engineering of your database. You have to choose Generate EJB3 annotations and Domain code(.java) . Refer to the 4.5. Reverse Engineering and Code Generation more info. enter image description here

Write your java code and use Source > Generate Hibernate/Jpa annotations and hibernate tools will do an attempt to add necessary annotations based on that
