Chapter 2. Setup and configuration

The EJB 3.0 / JPA compatible Hibernate EntityManager is built on top of Hibernate core and Hibernate Annotations. You have to use compatible versions of each module. Please consult the compatibility matrix in the hibernate.org download section. The following libraries have to be in your classpath: hibernate3.jar, hibernate-annotations.jar, hibernate-commons-annotations.jar, hibernate-entitymanager.jar and all needed third party libraries for each package (incl. ejb-persistence.jar).
