Question

When i right click on project then Maven then Add Dependencies. It is showing error. Artifact id cannot be empty. I had rebuild index. I don't know what to put in artifact id and group id. I want to add Hibernate libraries.

Answer 1

Put this in your pom.xml in the section dependencies :

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
    <version>4.3.6.Final</version>
</dependency>

From the Maven documentation :

The minimum requirement for a POM are the following:

• project root
• modelVersion - should be set to 4.0.0
• groupId - the id of the project's group.
• artifactId - the id of the artifact (project)
• version - the version of the artifact under the specified group
