Can someone help me ?

I am running an ant build script with junit and the test fails while in the buildSettings. I am very confused as to why this is happening. It looks like it cannot find the net.sf.ehcache.hibernate.Provider class . I tried looking for this file and it is not in the binary distribution or in the source.

Below is an excerpt running it in ant/junit.

Add lib/ehcache.jar (from the Hibernate distribution) to your classpath or switch cache provider, as described in http://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/refer ... ormance-s3

Sounds like ehcache is the default cache used by HB. This may lead to a confusion since lib/README.txt says ehcache.jar is optional. It's optional only if some other cache is specified.

It was as you said I was missing the ehcache.jar ... I think I might have missed that as part of the required libs and did not move it in the test.
