ClassNotFoundException: oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver

Question

I want to use hibernate in my maven project. I added hibernate.cfg.xml and hibernate.reveng.xml to resources, also added hibernate and oracle drivers to pom.xml, but the problem

Answer 1

The OJDBC driver is not available in maven central which is why maven fails to find it. You need to download it manually from the oracle homepage.

Then you can either deploy it to a self hosted maven repository and add that repository to your pom or just add the jar file directly to your classpath.
