Working with hibernate with Intellij or Eclipse

We have a project that is due to start and we are getting into the Holy IDE wars that I want to avoid.

One of the main areas we will be working in is开发者_如何学C hibernate.

In the past I have worked with ORMS where we had a UML model and via MDA (model driven architecture) I could change the UML, which changed the classes and then created or evolved the database.

Can I do this with intelliJ or Eclipse? I know I would that eclipse is free but it may be the same cost as IntelliJ if I have to pay for a plugin that does this?

TIA

Eclipse does have a very good hibernate tool suite available @ http://www.hibernate.org/subprojects/tools.html. But do not forget to remove the unwanted code that is appended in the auto generated files and do a thorough review of the files generated. The HQL editor in the tool suite is a good one to use.
