hello

i'm using hibernate v3 and NetBeans as IDE
i've downloaded the hibernate-core, hibernate-entitymanager, hibernate-search, hibernate-shards, hibernate-validator and i've extracted them to c:\hibernate
i've created a new project (java application), i've added the path c:\hibernate to my libraries and wrote a simple class that, at this moment, only imports
org.hibernate.Session, org.hibernate.Transaction ,org.hibernate.HibernateException, org.hibernate.SessionFactory, and org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;

when i'm tring to build the project or compile the class, i get this error: the package org.hibernate does not exists

what do i do wrong? obviously, is something wrong with my class path, but i don't know what to do :(

thanks in advance.

You need to add ALL jars to the path - not just their parent folder. i.e. you need to add:
c:\hibernate\hibernate-entitymanager.jar
c:\hibernate\hibernate3.jar
and so on.
