Hibernate Dependency Library Exception (JBoss Logging) : org/jboss/logging/BasicLogger

If you are developing hibernate application, it is internally using the JBoss logging framework. You have to add the jboss-logging-3.1.4.GA.jar to resolve the dependency. Also you can get JAR files from the maven repository. If the JAR is not in the libraries, you would get the following exception.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.jboss.logging</groupId>
    <artifactId>jboss-logging</artifactId>
    <version>3.1.0.CR1</version>
</dependency>
