Hibernate-tools.jar Download LINK

I ran into the same trouble and found the solution of Denis Golovin is working for me. I selected Hibernate 3.5 in the Edit Launch Configuration Properties window. Aditionally I took hibernate3.jar and hibernate-tools.jar (If you are using reverse configuration control) from plugins to resolve compilation problems on my project. I test it with JPA 2 Type Console. And voila everything workins as ever.
The same problem I had encountered but I managed to solved it. Try adding classpath variable for your hibernate tools (e.g. /plugins/org.hibernate.eclipse_3.1.0.beta3) because org.hibernate.cfg.DelegatingReverseEngineeringStrategy can be found on the jar file hibernate-tools.jar and your ide cant found it that's why you're receiving java.lang.ClassNotFoundException.
I hope that solves the problem ;)
I use Windows 7 and NetBeans 7, so the hibernate-tools.jar file was found here: C:\Program Files\NetBeans 7.0\java\modules\ext\hibernate. Since the Program Files directory is normally read only, I had to open the jar using WinZip that was opened with Admin rights. NetBeans has to be closed in order to modify the jar file.
To use the tools via Ant you need the hibernate-tools.jar and associated libraries. The libraries are included in the distribution from the Hibernate website and the Eclipse updatesite. The libraries are located in the eclipse plugins directory at /plugins/org.hibernate.eclipse.x.x.x/lib/tools/. These libraries are 100% independent from the eclipse platform. How to use these via ant tasks are described in the Ant chapter.
The hibernate-tools.jar contains the core for the Hibernate Tools. It is used as the basis for both the Ant tasks described in this document and the eclipse plugins both available from tools.hibernate.org The hibernate-tools.jar is located in your eclipse plugins directory at /plugins/org.hibernate.eclipse.x.x.x/lib/tools/hibernate-tools.jar.
A possibly solution for this is to modify the freemarker templates responsable for generating the POJO's. If you look inside hibernate-tools.jar, you can find the template: pojo/PojoPropertyAccessor.ftl
