How To Download, How To Install Hibernate Framework?

• Working with hibernate framework software or any other framework software is nothing but adding jar or jars into our application given by framework software jar(s) files.
• Every framework software is not a installable software, just we need to add the jar(s) into our application based on the application type. For example we are working with Java Standalone application then we need to add framework given jar(s) into our application class path. Or we are working with Java Web Application, in that case we need to add framework given jar(s) into web application lib directory.

Every framework software contains 2 types of jar's

1) Main jar files

2) Dependent jar files.

1) Main jar files:

The main jar files are required at the time of compilation as well as at the time of execution.

2) Dependent jar files:

The Dependent jar files are required only at the time of execution (not required at the time of complication).

To compile and execute Hibernate Application we need hibernate framework given java libraries (jar(s)).

We can download the Hibernate jar file(s) in multiple ways but the popular ways are two types 

1) download from hibernate organization official site 

2) download from mvnrepository.

1. Download Jar’s from Hibernate Official Site:

For downloading jar files from hibernate organization site use these url http://hibernate.org/orm/downloads/ and chose version of release. Hibernate jar files are available as a .zip format with name hibernate-release-x.x.x.Final (here x.x.x is major.minor[.maintenance[.build]]).

After downloading the hibernate-release-x.x.x.Final.zip file, we need to extract zip file using software winzip or 7zip or any other software if you have, for example I was downloaded hibernate-release-5.2.4.Final.zip file, and extracted using after that you can got the below structure:

Here open lib folder, then we can find the below folder structure:

Here open required folder then we will get the below required jar(s) files. The below jar file are mandatory for Hibernate application, remaining jar are required when you using features of respective API.

2. Download Jar’s from mvnrepository:

We can download hibernate jar files from mvnrepository use this url https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.hibernate, here we will get the all the jar(s) files of hibernate framework, if you can chose these approach we need the knowledge of hibernate jar files. Then you will select jar(s) files name and click on that, then it will display all the version of hibernate jar files, chose the jar file version what you want.
