How to build a hibernate project in Gradle?

Question

Java

Good afternoon!
I'm trying to get acquainted with hibernate , for this I put together a simple gradle project:

group 'hb'
version '1.0-SNAPSHOT'

apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'application'

sourceCompatibility = 1.8
mainClassName = 'ru.fp.hb.App'

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    compile "org.hibernate:hibernate:3.5.4-Final"
    compile "org.hibernate:hibernate-core:5.2.1.Final"
    compile "org.hibernate:hibernate-annotations:3.5.6-Final"
    compile "org.hibernate:hibernate-commons-annotations:3.2.0.Final"
    compile "org.hibernate:hibernate-gradle-plugin:5.2.1.Final"
    compile "org.hibernate:hibernate-tools:5.0.1.Final"
    compile "org.hibernate:hibernate-entitymanager:5.1.0.Final"
    compile "mysql:mysql-connector-java:5.1.31"
}

The resources contain the hibernate.cfg.xml file :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration SYSTEM "http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">
<hibernate-configuration>
    <session-factory>
        <property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</property>
        <property name="hibernate.connection.url">jdbc:mysql://localhost/hb_test?useUnicode=true&amp;characterEncoding=UTF-8</property>
        <property name="hibernate.connection.username">root</property>
        <property name="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5Dialect</property>
        <property name="connection.password">123</property>
        <mapping class="ru.fp.hb.model.UserModel"/>
    </session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>

The UserModel class looks like this:

package ru.fp.hb.model;

import javax.persistence.*;

@Entity
@Table(name="users")
public class UserModel extends Model
{
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue
    private Long id;

    @Column(name = "name", length=12)
    private String name;
    public UserModel()
    {

    }

    public Long getId() {return id;}
    public void setId(Long value)
    {
        this.id = value;
    }

    public String getName() {return name;}
    public void setName(String value)
    {
        this.name = value;
    }
}

The main App class of the application:

package ru.fp.hb;

import org.hibernate.Session;
import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.hibernate.cfg.AnnotationConfiguration;
import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;
import ru.fp.hb.model.UserModel;

import java.io.File;

/**
 * Created by sam on 22.07.16.
 */
public class App
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        System.out.println("new main");
        //
        AnnotationConfiguration aconf = new AnnotationConfiguration();
        aconf.addAnnotatedClass(UserModel.class);
        Configuration conf = aconf.configure(new File("hibernate.cgf.xml"));
        SessionFactory sessionFactory = conf.buildSessionFactory();
        //
        UserModel userModel = new UserModel();
        userModel.setName("Serious Sam");
        //
        Session session = sessionFactory.openSession();
        session.saveOrUpdate(userModel);
        session.getTransaction().commit();
        session.close();
    }
}

During execution I get an error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/hibernate/cfg/Mappings
  at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass1(Native Method)
  at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(ClassLoader.java:763)
  at java.security.SecureClassLoader.defineClass(SecureClassLoader.java:142)
  at .....

Maybe I forgot to connect one? Who knows, tell me :)
Thank you.

Answer 1

compile "org.hibernate:hibernate: 3.5.4-Final "
compile "org.hibernate:hibernate-core: 5.2.1.Final "
and in general I look at your versions in discord. They there from version to version remake everything very strongly, they can move / delete classes. You need to use all the dependencies of one version.
in 3.5.4 there may not be such a class, change the version to 5.2.1.
In general, it is better for a beginner to find the latest examples and repeat them in full, or use the official documentation for the current version.
