Debug level Hibernate log excerpt:

For some reason I am using JDK 1.3, Windows 2000, no Ant
I am following the road map - Getting started - day 1

1. Download Hibernate2.1 from this website.
extract zip to C:\ change dir name hibernate-2.1 to \hibernate, everything under this hibernate directory, no Hibernate-2.1 directory, is it OK?
Do i need to run build.bat at this time?
I am using remote Oracle DB, so could I modify this file build.bat to :
set JDBC_DRIVER=C:\oracle\ora81\jdbc\lib\classes12.zip

2. place your JDBC driver jar file in the lib directory:
the oracle idbc is zip file, is it OK for hibernate? place it java lib or hibernate\lib?

3. edit etc/hibernate.properties
## Oracle

#hibernate.dialect net.sf.hibernate.dialect.Oracle9Dialect
hibernate.dialect net.sf.hibernate.dialect.OracleDialect
hibernate.connection.driver_class oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
hibernate.connection.username time_test
hibernate.connection.password abcd
hibernate.connection.url jdbc:oracle:thin:@lestat:1521:time

is that right?

4. there is no install dir, cause no Ant on my machine, I run "build eg".
got "Build Failed" message.

I'm just wondering any wrong above?

another new-bie question: If I use Eclipse with Hibernate Sychornisor plugin, do i need install hibernate on my machine?

thanks
