set up basic Hibernate development environment

Below are the recommended steps in getting started with Hibernate

Setting up the development environment
  • Make sure the appropriate JDK is installed. Hibernate Core 3.6 requires JDK 1.5 or higher (3.5 requires JDK 1.4 or higher).
  • Make sure an appropriate Maven version is installed. At the time of this writing, that means Maven >= 2.0.8. This is not strictly a requirement to use Hibernate, but would be needed to build Hibernate. If you wish to follow along with the tutorials as outlined below, they provide Maven poms to get up and running easily.
Download the latest production release of Hibernate from the Hibernate website at http://www.hibernate.org/ or http://sourceforge.net/projects/hibernate/files/hibernate3/ and unpack the archive after download





Historically, Hibernate facilitated the storage and retrieval of Java domain objects via Object/Relational Mapping. Today, Hibernate is a collection of related projects enabling developers to utilize POJO-style domain models in their applications in ways extending well beyond Object/Relational Mapping.
