I'm following the Introduction to Hibernate tutorial and am trying to compile the project after adding the HibernateUtil helper class (HibernateUtil.java). When I run ant, I get the following:


...along with a bunch of other errors that are related to the compiler not finding this package.

The only files I have extracted from Hibernate are the files inthe /lib directory (as those files are the only ones that the tutorial states are required). Do I need to extract the rest of Hibernate to a global or project location?

Thanks.

BTW: I'm on a Linux system.

You need hibernate3.jar.
It is located just in the root directory when you expanded hibernate. One level over lib directory.

That did the trick. I figured it was something simple. Am I going to run into problems and have to extract more and more files from the hibernate tar?

Again, all that I've extracted are the files in the /lib directory as well as hibernate3.jar (as per the previous post).

It would be nice if the instructions from the above tutorial would note that hibernate3.jar is required.

I know, it is pretty obvious that you would need hibernate3.jar. But since the instructions in the tutorial start with downloading and extracting the binaries, one cannot assume this.

1.2. Part 1 - The first Hibernate Application
This is the minimum set of required libraries (note that we also copied hibernate3.jar, the main archive)
