Hello everyone,

I'm new. I want to use hibernate on eclipse. I' m using java 1.4. Which version of hibernate should i download? After download what are the steps to use hibernate on eclipse. I researched but i did not find any good documentation and i m confused about it because of the result on google :(

Thanks everyone :)

Useful links help too :)

Download the latest GA edition of Hibernate, which I currently believe is 3.2.2

Have you ever used eclipse? All you have to do is make sure the required jar files are on your runtime and design-time classpath and you're good to go.

Check out my signature links for learning Hibernate. I demonstrate how to code, compile and run a Hibernate program with just the JDK, Notepad and the command prompt. If you know Eclipse at all, you'll be able to take that information and easily transfer it into an eclipse workspace.

Good luck!

Thank u for your answer.

Yes I use exclipse but don't know everything :( For example I don't understand what can i do for "required jar files are on your runtime and design-time classpath" Please tell that to me clearly.

Basically, you need Eclipse to be able to see the various files the Hibernate framework uses in order to work. Most of these files are Java classes stored in jar files. These jar files must be on Eclipse's classpath in order for your program to compile, and run.

Always ask questions! We're here to help! You might find a bit more help on this in the eclipse forums, as they're really the experts on Eclipse

Good luck!
