IntelliJ IDEA, Mac OS X and Hibernate ORM

Posted by    |       Hibernate ORM

Hibernate ORM, IntelliJ IDEA and Mac OS X have been a pretty tough combination to work with since our move to Gradle. It’s not exactly anyone’s fault but the combination of

  • gradle / IntelliJ integration

  • JDK 6 running IntelliJ IDEA

  • Hibernate ORM advanced use of Gradle and of custom plugins

made for a long and painful journey.

These days are over. Steve found the last blocking issue and you can now import Hibernate ORM natively in IntelliJ IDEA.

Importing Hibernate ORM in IntelliJ IDEA on Mac OS X

git clone git@github.com:hibernate/hibernate-orm.git

  • Open IntelliJ IDEA

  • File → Open

  • Select hibernate-orm

  • The defaults should be good

    • Make especially sure that you select Use default gradle wrapper

    • I use Gradle JVM to 1.8

  • Click OK and let it work and download the internet

You now have a properly imported Hibernate ORM project :)

This worked on Mac OS X 10.10.4 and IntelliJ IDEA CE 14.1.4.

Importing Hibernate ORM in NetBeans on Mac OS X

And this incidentally fixed an import bug for NetBeans.

  • Open NetBeans

  • Install the Gradle plugin

  • Open project

  • Select hibernate-orm

This worked on Mac OS X 10.10.4 and NetBeans 8.0.2.
