Debug level Hibernate log excerpt:

hello all, Im new to hibernate. Im just trying to follow along in a tutorial, and when i try to create my hibernate.cfg.xml file in eclipse i get the above nullpointerException. I think i must be missing some libraries perhaps?

any help would be greatly appreciated.

thank you.

This has nothing to do with Hibernate itself. This error may be created by a number of reasons including misconfigured plugins, missing dependencies for the team provider (svn, cvs).

Which version of Eclipse, Java and OS are you using?

You can try reinstalling eclipse or create the file manually outside of eclipse and just try to load it from the IDE. You just need to create this file once per project so it is not a big deal to work around what ever issue the IDE is having.

great I will try that. thank you.
