While receiving a schema from Database initially a java.lang.NullPointerException* is thrown.

Stack trace can be found here.

While debugging the plugin i found the problem at the implementation of the anonymous comperator in org.hibernate.eclipse.console.workbench.LazyDatabaseSchemaWorkbenchAdapter.getChildren(Object, IProgressMonitor).

res = toArray(result.iterator(), Object.class, new Comparator<Object>() {
				public int compare(Object arg0, Object arg1) {
					return getName(arg0).compareTo(getName(arg1));
				}
				private String getName(Object o) {
					String result = null;
					try {
						Method m = o.getClass().getMethod("getName", new Class[] {});
						m.invoke(o, new Object[] {});
					} catch (Exception e) {
						throw new RuntimeException(e);
					}
					return result;
				}
			});

The string result is never set. So the compareTo is always failing.
I haven't looked it up, but the problem might consist also in earlier versions of JBoss tools.
