I'm trying the tutorial at:

http://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/v3/re ... orial.html

I get to step 1.2.5, Startup and Helpers and get an error. Error text is below. I am not sure if I've done something wrong (major newbie here) or if there is something missing in the tutorial.

3.1.3

Are you sure that your lib directory contains hibernate3.jar? This is found in the root of the Hibernate distribution, instead of in the lib folder with all dependencies.

Thanks, that did the trick. I must have missed the step to move that .jar to the directory somewhere.

Again, thanks a ton.
