The Hibernate (3.6) Getting Started Guide at http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/core/3.6/quickstart/en-US/html_single/ gives no information about how to compile the example -- what directory to cd to to compile, what the compile command is, where pom.xml should be, etc. This really needs to be added, as a new user to Hibernate, especially if they are also new to Maven, will not have a clue about how to compile a Hibernate project.

I am one such new user. Would someone please tell me how to compile the Getting Started Guide's example? Or any example in the distribution?
