No Persistence library in Hibernate Tools Eclipse Plugin?

[mairr]

Hello all,

I am new to Hibernate and need some help.

I am using Eclipse Indigo and Hibernate Tools Eclipse Plugin 3.4.

I've successfully setup hibernate configuration including database driver, connection url and selected the java project where hibernate will be used.

For mapping I want to use Annotation, so i could "mark" the fields, with attributes  (@Entity, @id...).

To do this I must use imports:

import javax.persistence.Entity;

import javax.persistence.Id;

import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;

But those imports couldn't be resolved.

Shouldn't plugin take care of those jars??

How can I fix it?

THanks

No, since you might use different versions of hibernate you need to download hibernate jars from somewhere.

i.e. you can use JBoss AS or EAP and it will be available when you create a web or utility jar project that targets this server or use something like maven to get dependencies individually.

Thanks for the post,

but what do you mean "download hibernate jars from somewhere."?

Can't I download it from JBOSS? (http://www.hibernate.org/)

Am I missing something?

p.s.

what should i download:

Depends what version you want to use.

I suggest you start here: http://www.hibernate.org/quick-start

and if you want the version that works best with hibernate tools plugin continue on to: http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/core/3.5/reference/en-US/html/

The version that includes persistence library, I guess I need hibernate-annotations?

But it's very old... 2008
