Eclipse Hibernate Library downloads

Netbeans does come开发者_运维百科s with a set of library already to use, i havent found that feature on eclipse i manually have to downloads the library in order to have them and even have to configure on my enviroment??

Thanks,

Yeah, but it's no big deal.

Just download Hibernate itself and if you want to, hibernate tools for eclipse. I personally really like HQL editor from mentioned tools. Then use hibernate as simply, as adding it to your project's classpath.

You can download Hibernate zip file from www.hibernate.org. In latest versions(Hibernate 4.3.7) jar files from only two folders need to be considered:

1. lib/jpa
2. lib/required

Make a new library in your project folder, and add jar file from the above folders.

A good idea to simplify Library downloads is to use a build tool like Maven. It integrates well with Eclipse through the m2eclipse plugin. Maven downloads the libraries you need and m2eclipse makes them available to the Eclipse project.
