Hi all,
I already downloaded hibernate-entitymanager-3.2.0.CR1 and tried to use in J2SE project. I added all jars that are included in zip on my project classpath (hibernate-entitymanager.jar, ejb3-persistence.jar, hibernate-annotations.jar, javassist.jar, jboss-archive-browsing.jar).

However, I got exception when the project was executed:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/hibernate/cfg/SettingsFactory
at org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence.createEntityManagerFactory(HibernatePersistence.java:113)
at javax.persistence.Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory(Persistence.java:37)
at javax.persistence.Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory(Persistence.java:27)

What is missing on project classpath? Should I download also other Hibernate packages? It's as usability issue for me since there is no info which jars are needed.

Hi blaha,

you also need hibernate3.jar and maybe some more jars which are
contained in hibernate core.
See:

http://www.hibernate.org/299.html

under Requirements.

Hi steckemetz,
thanks for you quick reply. I was able to run my application with Hibernate. I used Netbeans for developing J2EE applications and it seems that is a liitle bit complicated to setup a right environment for using Hibernate Entitymanager in Netbeans. Therefore, I created new Hibernate library modules that includes all required jars. See:

http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/pblaha ... r_netbeans

User can simple install this module and then very easy use persistence and other Hibernate stuff in NetBeans 5.5.

Check CLASSPATH always
