I am using hibernate, no pom.xml or maven and getting the error?

Question

This is my main class

package com.luv2code.hibernate.demo;

import org.hibernate.Session;
import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;


public class CreateStudentDemo {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        
        // create session factory
        SessionFactory factory = new Configuration().configure("hibernate.cfg.xml").addAnnotatedClass(Student.class).buildSessionFactory();
        
        // create session
        Session session = factory.getCurrentSession();
        try {
            
            // create stydent object
            System.out.println("Creating a new student object");
            Student tempStudent = new Student("Paul", "Wall", "paulWall@gmail.com");
            
            // start a transaction
            session.beginTransaction();
            
            // save student object
            System.out.println("Saving student ");
            session.save(tempStudent);
            
            // commit the transaction 
            session.getTransaction().commit();
            System.out.println("Done ...");
            
            
        }
        catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println("ERROOOOORRR");
        }finally {
            ((SessionFactory) factory).close();
        }
    }

}

This is my hibernate configuration file

<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC
        "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN"
        "http://www.hibernate.org/dtd/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">

<hibernate-configuration>

    <session-factory>

        <!-- JDBC Database connection settings -->

        <!-- Set the current session context -->
        <property name="current_session_context_class">thread</property>
 
    </session-factory>

</hibernate-configuration>

this is the error I get
