I am new to Hibernate and Maven. I am trying to follow the Hibernate tutorial reference information. I downloaded and extracted Hibernate distribution 3.3.1 GA. I am looking at the tutorial located in /projects/tutorial/ of the extraction, and am trying to build the example with Maven.

I run:
mvn clean install

and download a bunch of jars. (Seems like eveything is working) but I get four 'failed to resolve artifact' errors for missing jars. The error log tells me to go download those files manually from the Maven repository and then install them, such as:

Path to dependency:
1) org.hibernate:hibernate-tutorials:pom:3.3.1.GA

from the specified remote repositories:
central (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2)

So I browse to the repository, but get to http://repo2.maven.org/maven2/org/hibernate/ and I don't see a sub-folder or file called 'hibernate-tutorials' as path suggests.

What am I doing wrong? Is there another place on hibernate.org where I can download these dependent jars?

Thanks.

The addresses supplied in the Maven error message are bogus. The right location for those missing jars is http://repository.jboss.org/maven2/org/ ... orial-web/. You can find them there.

I wish I knew how to change the error messages for the tutorial future newbies, but maybe someone else with more experience can help.
