I am trying to compile the HibernateUtil.java file which is specified in the Hibernate tutorial (in the install package). I am getting an error: package org.hibernate.cfg does not exist.
Here is the complete sourcecode of this file:
package util;
import org.hibernate.*;
import org.hibernate.cfg.*;
public class HibernateUtil {
private static final SessionFactory sessionFactory;
static {
try {
// Create the SessionFactory from hibernate.cfg.xml
sessionFactory = new
Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory();
} catch (Throwable ex) {
// Make sure you log the exception, as it might be
swallowed
System.err.println("Initial SessionFactory creation
failed." + ex);
throw new ExceptionInInitializerError(ex);
}
}
public static SessionFactory getSessionFactory() {
return sessionFactory;
}
}

Well, I assure you that the package org.hibernate.cfg does exist.
Are you sure that the hibernate jar is in your classpath?

Yeah, hibernate3.jar is in my classpath environment variable.
Actually it works now. It was a matter of rebooting the machine after setting the jar classpath.
