Hi,

Since I have been trying to use eclipse console many times, always unsucesfully, I decided to ask here...

Below is an exception that eclipse console is throwing every time I try to create a session within hibernate console perspective. My question is what exactly do I need to do to start using those tools. Please note I am really new to java and eclipse. However I already have been using NHibernate on .NET platform...

Thanx in advance... Roland

Did you read and follow the docs ?

if you follow that, especially the part about adding the driver classes to the classpath into the console configuration wizard then you will not get that error message.

In fact I am new to java. Since I find classpath so important I'll read more about java itself.

Could you explain me shortly where do I find the classpath in winXP (Eclipse) and how do I set it .

Or does it mean that it is enouugh to put firebird's JDBC jar file into the hibernate plugin directory?

Thanx in advance.

Roland

I dont want to tell you about basic java - that you can find alot of other places.

Regarding this exact classpath, you will find in the wizard you used to setup the hibernate console - its all in the docs. Simply add the jar file to the classpath list in the wizard dialog.

Thanx - this single sentence told me to look at console configuration dialog once again...

And I realized that I was blind 'cause there is a very big list for classpath definition.

Thanx once again :-)

Put all jar files(Hibernate related and Driver related) in lib folder of your projecy directory.
