The hbn file extension is associated with Java, a programming language and runtime environment available for Microsoft Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and various mobile platforms.
The hbn file belongs to applications that use Hibernate to work with persistent data. It is an application data file rather than a general-purpose document, and its contents are intended to be processed by the relevant Java software.
Open a hbn file with the Java application or Hibernate-based software that created or uses it. Hibernate data files are normally read automatically by that application rather than opened as standalone documents.
There is no general-purpose viewer associated with this file type. A text editor may display the contents if the particular file is text-based, but editing it can prevent the Java application from using it correctly.
A hbn file does not normally have a standalone conversion utility. Its contents are application data for Hibernate and may not represent a portable document format.
When conversion is required, use the Java application that uses the file to export the underlying data, or migrate that data through the application's database or persistence tools.
