Trouble configuring Hibernate in Maven

[Aakash Chandel]

I am using maven for the first time and currently trying to configure Hibernate using maven with spring web application. My web application is very simple. It just tries to connect to MySQL DB and fetches the number of records in a table and displays it using System.out on the index page. While building the application I get the error mentioned below. My assumption is that it is missing some dependency. I have following questions.
1) Since I am creating a web app I think I might be needing more than just Hibernate core module? Not sure what all I need. Is there a way to figure out what all jars I need for a web application that uses Hibernate with Spring?
2) How can I found out what all dependencies are there for a specific jar? Is there any web page which shows all the dependencies?
3) In Maven, is there any way to download a jar with all it's dependencies is a single shot through pom.xml?


pom.xml
========

  
        <!-- Support for Hibernate Core -->
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
            <artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
            <version>4.1.4.Final</version>
        </dependency>

While building the application I am getting the following error.
Error Log:

When creating a new project, the easiest way is to use a Spring archetype. This ensures you get the Maven configuration right. (The ones from appfuse on top do that.

Run this at the command line:

 mvn dependency:tree

That's how the pom works. It downloads any dependencies required for the jars in the pom.

As far as your actual error, that looks like a Hibernate 3 class. Does this address your issue?

This will help. Thanks for the reply.
