How do I download Hibernate 6.4.4 JARs?

57 views Asked by At

While following Hibernate tutorials on Youtube, they all include a step where they download Hibernate JAR files from the official website, but when I visited the latest version page (Hibernate 6.4.4) there was no download option? So how can I download them please? I am doing a simple JAVA project that have no POM file so I need the JARs to be added to Eclipse in order to be able to integrate it

Manual download

If you insist on manually downloading the library, navigate from the Releases page to find a download link.

Look for Direct download section with links to specific instructions for manual download.

Dependency manager

Libraries used by your app (“dependencies”) are commonly downloaded and installed automatically by using a dependency management tool. The most popular such tools nowadays are Apache Maven and Apache Gradle, with others competing as well.

You simply tell the dependency manager what libraries you want, by listing them in a configuration file. Maven uses XML file (a POM) while Gradle uses a Groovy file.

All common IDEs (IntelliJ, Eclipse, NetBeans, etc.) nowadays are savvy with using both Maven and Gradle.

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.hibernate.orm/hibernate-core -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.hibernate.orm</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
    <version>6.4.4.Final</version>
</dependency>
