While trying to build the session factory I get this. Very little turns up in an Internet search. But it\'s got me dead-in-the-water for days now. Thanks.

You have a conflict with hibernate-core.jar versions, the Map version was added only in later versions (around 4.2.X maybe?), check your Eclipse/Maven 'Dependency Hierarchy' tab to analyze version conflicts.
public static void verifyProperties(Map<?,?> configurationValues)
My problem was resolved only when I deleted my local Hibernate Maven repo and ran install again.
