Simple steps to include hibernet in eclipse................

Visit http://www.jboss.org/tools/download/stable/3_1_GA.html (BROKEN LINK)

Downloaded file name should look like “HibernateTools-3.3.0.v200910281724M-H247-M4.zip”

Extract it with your favor zip tool

Copy the extracted plugin and feature folders to Eclipse’s plugin & feature folders

Restart Eclipse.......!!
It's Done.. :-)

If you right click on the JAR file under "Referenced Libraries" -> Properties -> Javadoc Location -> Javadoc in archive and then either point it to a jar you've imported into your workspace or on your local machine by using the "archive path" box.

You can also simply add the URL of the javadoc like http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/core/3.6/javadocs/ in the properties of the jar !
