Hi,

I'm using Hibernate 3.4.1 and writing unit tests for a console app (Java 1.5) using Maven 1.1. The database is Oracle 10g. However, when I run my unit test that attempts to make a connection, I get the below error. What does it mean? I'm trying to use Oracle's thin driver to connect.

Notice the "Caused by: java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver" buried in the stack trace below.
