Hibernate ORM XML Validator for Eclipse

By default, Hibernate .ORM files get parsed only on server startup. It is a minor irritant to have a server startup failure just because of a simple error in your orm xml.

This project aims to create a plugin for Eclipse that will monitor all Java classes with the @Entity annotation and maintain a tree of their attributes and methods. Then the user can simply right click the orm xml in Project Explorer view and select "Validate ORM" to validate the orm file for basic SQL parsing errors and against the Entities in the workspace.
