I get the following error in Eclipse Luna using the latest Hibernate-tools to attempt to reverse engineer my tables into Hibernate objects. I'm using JDK 8 to run Eclipse, 1.8 as my compliance levels and I've tried 1.7 and still the same error. I tried just removing all jars from my project classpath and same error. IT has something to do with the plugin I suspect. Does anyone know of a hack or quickfix?

Did you install the previous, stable, Kepler edition of the Hibernate tools, and then also install the Luna edition without uninstalling the Kepler version?
Is there a hibernate3.jar transitively added to the classpath by any maven enabled projects (check the effective pom.xml)?
You can check the plugins folder for eclipse to see if the latest Hibernate tools in fact is missing the org.hibernate.cfg.reveng.OverrideRepository class. It is a nightly/unstable build, so that is entirely possible.
Lastly, you can remove Eclipse from the picture for debugging purposes by following the examples in the hibernate docs to create an ant build file, and execute it from the commandline. Using that approach, I was never able to accomplish anything useful, but I was able to identify what my particular problems were.
