Remove .configure() if you are using hibernate.properties. Below code is HibernateUtil session factory implementation.

private static SessionFactory buildSessionFactory() {
    try {
        Configuration configuration = new Configuration();
        ServiceRegistry serviceRegistry
            = new StandardServiceRegistryBuilder()
                .applySettings(configuration.getProperties()).build();
        configuration.addAnnotatedClass(LookUpModel.class);
        return configuration
                .buildSessionFactory(serviceRegistry);
    }catch(Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        throw new RuntimeException("There is issue in hibernate util");
    }
}

hibernate.properites file

hibernate.connection.driver_class = com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
hibernate.connection.url = jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test
hibernate.connection.username = root
hibernate.connection.password = passsword
hibernate.c3p0.min_size=5
hibernate.c3p0.max_size=20
hibernate.c3p0.timeout=1800
hibernate.c3p0.max_statements=50
hibernate.dialect = org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5Dialect
