reverse engineer hibernate pojos in intelliJ

Step-1: Install Hibernate support plugin

Step-2: Create maven project of archetype-webapp

Create a new project from New -> Project -> Maven -> archetype -> webapp

Step-3: Hibernate config

Create the below config and save it as hibernate-cfg.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC
        "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN"
        "http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">
<hibernate-configuration>
    <session-factory>
        <property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</property>
        <property name="hibernate.connection.url">jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test</property>
        <property name="hibernate.connection.username">root</property>
        <property name="hibernate.connection.password">root</property>
        <property name="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect</property>
        <property name="hibernate.default_schema">test</property>
    </session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>

Also include mysql connector in your POM,

    <artifactId>mysql-connector-java</artifactId>
    <version>8.0.17</version>
</dependency>
