My Swing application under eclipse using MySQL cannot create a session factory.

I have used the helloworld from the "Java Persistence with Hibernate " book as a guideline for placing and configuring classes, mapping files and hibernate.cfg.xml.

If I open the hibernate configuration in the eclipse hibernate configurations view, the Java domain code of the Java mapping classes shows OK under Configuration (I see all three classes), however SessionFactory shows "<SessionFactory Error: Entity class not found: Sound> while the example helloworld shows OK in sessionfactory
In the "database" branch of the tree, my database shows OK

If I run my application it cannot create a SessionFactory.
The listing
15:57:55,110 INFO Configuration:1547 - Configured SessionFactory: null
shows that there is no session factory. I used exactly the same HibernateUtil as in the HelloWorld example.

I'm getting lost in struggling with this, the only time I got it to work is when I put everything (all mapped Java classes) in the root.
I have exported a build jar containing everythin in the output bin root directory, this doesn't help either.

Any hint is appreciated

see console output below


thx
