It appears the current hibernate tutorial fails the Missouri test. Those who are curious, will be turned off because of beginning tutorial that just doesn't seem to work. At least, I haven't gotten it to work. I am sure many have put much work into hibernate, but I am having a tough time just getting "Hello World" working!

In the guide for hibernate-distribution-3.5.0-CR-1, I found what appears to be the following errors. I am familiar with Java and SQL, yet it seems that you already have to know maven to make this work as well. Here are the errors I believe I have thus found in hibernate_reference.pdf.

The pom.xml has the following on page 14.
<groupId>org.hibernate.tutorials</groupId>

In addition, the pom.xml wraps the lines, which appear that they should be on two lines.
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/
maven-4.0.0.xsd">

Yet, the tutorial indicates this on page 16.
Save this file to the src/main/java/org/hibernate/tutorial/domain directory.

Should it not be "src/main/java/org/hibernate/tutorials/domain" with an "s" at the end of tutorial?

I followed this tutorial and ran in to this issue and many others. I was able to clear these road-blocks and complete the tutorial. If anyone want any further details on how I fixed various issues, please see my blog post. http://kaizenprogrammer.blogspot.com/20 ... orial.html
I had to post 6 blog entries showing the errors I got and how I fixed them.
