Today I began refactoring some Hibernate data objects in order to use XDoclet to generate the mapping files. When creating the Ant taskdef:

    <taskdef
        name="hibernatedoclet"
        classname="xdoclet.modules.hibernate.HibernateDocletTask"
        classpathref="lib.class.path"
    />

Eclipse was kind enough to tell me all the XDoclet JARs I was missing -- except one. The missing one didn't turn up until I ran the Ant task and got:

[hibernatedoclet] - Running <hibernate/>
[hibernatedoclet] Generating mapping file for com.client.dataobjects.Portfolio.
[hibernatedoclet] com.client.dataobjects.Portfolio
[hibernatedoclet] - Could not find tag handler for prefix: 'XDtCollection'
[hibernatedoclet] - Error occured at/around line 166, 
                    offending template tag: XDtCollection:create
[hibernatedoclet] xdoclet.template.TemplateException: 
                  Could not find tag handler for prefix: 'XDtCollection'
[hibernatedoclet] at xdoclet.template.TemplateEngine.getTagHandlerFor
                  (TemplateEngine.java:207)
...

[hibernatedoclet] - Running XDoclet failed.
[hibernatedoclet] - <<Running XDoclet failed.>>

For my future reference, here are the XDoclet JAR files needed to generate the Hibernate mapping hbm files:

    xdoclet-xdoclet-module-1.2.1.jar  <-- the one that fixes the above problem
    xdoclet-1.2.1.jar
    xdoclet-hibernate-module-1.2.1.jar
    xjavadoc-1.0.3.jar

Update: From the xdoclet-user mailing list, the Hibernate ant task also needs the commons-collections-2.1.jar and commons-logging-1.0.3.jar. But since my project already had those in the Ant classpath, those didn't cause me any grief.
