Run first Hibernate example in eclipse

[pravin gajbhiye]

Hi
I just started reading Hibernate
and did one application.
But I got error..

This error message:

Could not parse configuration: /hibernate.cfg.xml

sounds like there is something wrong with your Hibernate configuration file. Maybe it is not a valid XML file. Check if the content of the file is valid XML and if it's a valid Hibernate configuration file.

Thanks Jesper...


Actually I don't know which jar files are needed .
I am reffering the link http://blog.sencide.com/2011/03/hibernate-tutorial-for-beginners.html. for learning basic application.
I have downloaded hibernate-release-4.1.9.Final .
But it dosn't have the files
1) cglib-2.2.2.jar
2)commons-collections-3.2.1.jar
3)jta-1.1.jar
So i downloaded these saperatly and add these as external jar files.


hibernate-release-4.1.9.Final contains
antlr-2.7.7
dom4j-1.6.1
hibernate-commons-annotations-4.0.1.Final
hibernate-core-4.1.9.Final
hibernate-jpa-2.0-api-1.0.1.Final
javassist-3.17.1-GA
jboss-logging-3.1.0.GA
jboss-transaction-api_1.1_spec-1.0.0.Final

I also downloaded
slf4j-1.7.2 folder which contains jars.
hibernate3.jar
mysql-connecter-java5.1.jar
and it.

Is there any problems with my setup?

Please give me a proper set configuration.
Thank you very much for your reply.

Question too difficult for this forum: moving to where we usually discuss Hibernate.
