Description

When I run the Hibernate Tools wizard in Netbeans (right-click on project - New - Hibernate Mapping Files and POJOs from Database...) the resultant java file includes the comment "// Generated <date/time> by Hibernate Tools 4.3.1".

This is despite the fact that I'm using Hibernate 5.4 throughout! (pom.xml uses version 5.4.13.Final, and Tools - Libraries contains version 5.4.11.Final jar files).

I can only assume that Netbeans has a set of Hibernate tools built-in, which can't be changed by the user?

(In Tools - Plugins - Installed I've apparently got a Hibernate Plugin (version 1.35.0.1) but there's no update to that, indeed I can't even see it listed on plugins.netbeans.org, so I've no idea whether it's anything relevant or not?)

The reason I'm asking is that the treatment of date/time fields is apparently improved in Hibernate 5, such that they map better to Java date/time types.
