Eclipse - Hibernate Help

I am using MyEclipse, and trying to connect up my simple application with my database. My application works fine, but when I create the jar, none of my Hibernate functionality works at all. This appears to be a classpath of sorts issue within ANT, but thought I'd try for help here as well. What all do I need to include in my final jar in order for my final stand alone application to retain its Hibernate functionality? Below is a portion of my ANT build.xml file so you can see what all I have included. All of my *.JAR files are in the /lib directory.

Code:

   

<target name="CreateExecutableJarFileWithExternalLibrary"                  
                                                                    depends="clean, build" >
   <jar destfile="${jarFile}">
        <fileset dir="${buildDir}"/>
        <fileset dir="${libDir}" />
   <manifest>
           <attribute name="Main-Class" value="org.boss.kpoint.KPoint1" />
   </manifest>
   </jar>
</target>

This looks like you are trying to put jars inside another jar.
This doesnt work.
Try to place all of your own jars and all jars from hibernate/lib
directory in one directory on your target machine.
An write a start script like this (windows):

Code:

@echo off

set jarpath=lib
set jars=%jarpath%\hibernate3.jar;
... all other hibernate jars you need
set jars=%jars%;%jarpath%\myjar1.jar;
... all other of your own jars
set cppath=.;%jars%

rem Batch-Modus
java -cp %cppath% x.y.myMainClass

I fixed my problem with the following:

Code:

<target name="zip" depends="clean,build">
      <echo> IN THE: zip</echo>
      <jar destfile="C:\Zip.jar">
       <zipgroupfileset dir="${libDir}" includes="*.jar"/>
       <fileset dir="${buildDir}" />
         <manifest>
            <attribute name="Main-Class" value="org.boss.kpoint.KPoint1" />
         </manifest>
      </jar>
   </target>

It appears that I somewhat did what you had suggested, but I may be wrong. I am still new to Hibernate.

Thanks,
Sean

P.S. If you (or anyone else) could recommend a good book on Hibernate, I would appreciate it. Thanks
