I have been trying to get the tutorial to work, but after section 1.2.6. i keep getting an error when i run the ant file.

Hibernate version:
3.3.1.GA

The error that i am getting is.

C:\Users\matt\Desktop\project>ant run -Daction=store

If any one could please help me it would be greatly appreciated.

It says duplicate class, did you copy/paste one existing file and not change the class name?

There is no copy's in my project folder, this is the file structure and the code from my tutorial project

In your Event.hbm.xml it says:


this should probably just read

(there are cases when you have to enter the full package-path, but only with overlapping names i think)

hope that helps
