Hibernate version: 2.1

I have a Swing application that uses Hibernate 2.1 with McKoi 1.0.3. It works great, but I'd really like to minimize the number of jar files to be distributed with the application, because we intend to email the zipped up app if at all possible. I tried to find some info in the reference (and Googled for it) but found nothing. There seems to be an assumption that Hibernate is used exclusively in web apps, where distribution of 10MB of jar files isn't an issue.

Obviously trial-and-error is an option, but I'd like to avoid that if possible, since there are close to 40 jar files in the hibernate lib directory.

The users will all be using Sun JRE 1.4.2_04, if that impacts this issue (e.g., including the xerces jar).

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi kdenehy,
Check http://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/refer ... tart-intro

It tells all about third party libs.

There is also a readme in the lib directory

Thanks for both of your responses. I missed the readme file (which explains why I thought there were almost 40 jar files - in reality 7 of the files were text files) and the reference (because it sounded like it was strictly about Tomcat).

Thanks again.
