Answer 1

All dependencies required by Hibernate are not loaded, if you use maven all jars referenced are automatically loaded in the Application classpath.

As your error is clearly saying , you are missing a reference to the sl4j jar.

Answer 2

The exception is quite clear: the class org.slf4j.LoggerFactory is required by Hibernate, but was not found. You need to add the corresponding Library to your classpath, ie you need an slf4j.jar in addition to hibernate.jar.
