Where do I specify my custom reverse engineering class when using the hibernate-tools plugin for maven? - maven-2

Question

I have a custom strategy but I can't figure out how to get this plugin to use it.
My relevent pom section is:
<build>
<plugins>

<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>

</plugin>
</plugins>
<pluginManagement>
<plugins>
<plugin>

<version>5.4.1.Final</version>
</plugin>
<!--
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
</plugin>
-->
</plugins>
</pluginManagement>
</build>
And my hibernate.reveng.xml is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-reverse-engineering SYSTEM "http://hibernate.org/dtd/hibernate-reverse-engineering-3.0.dtd" >
<hibernate-reverse-engineering>
<type-mapping>
<sql-type jdbc-type="DATE" hibernate-type="java.time.LocalDate"/>
<sql-type jdbc-type="TIMESTAMP" hibernate-type="java.time.LocalDateTime"/>
</type-mapping>
</hibernate-reverse-engineering>
Additionally, although in the config I have specified to use "src/main/hibernate/hibernate.cfg.xml" it is reading "hibernate.properties"
I guess the example I got https://github.com/stadler/hibernate-tools-maven-plugin has the wrong configuration property name.
So:
1) The initial question
2) How do I configure this to use the specified configuration file?
3) Where is there a list of all the configuration problems and finally despite having
<pluginManagement>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<version>5.4.1.Final</version>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</pluginManagement>
I am getting "plugin execution not covered by lifecycle" in eclipse
So apparently I did not correctly follow this StackOverflow answer How to solve "Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration" for Spring Data Maven Builds

Answer 1

The documentation says add a revengStrategy configuration to the plugin with the full name of the class that extends DefaultReverseEngineeringStrategy. However when you try this, it throws class not instanced error. I have raised an issue with hibernate tools.
However, I have seen solutions where this is working if you have multi module project. The custom class should be part of a different module and that module should be added as a plugin dependency.
If I hear back from hibernate tools, you can find it here later
