I am trying to follow this Apache CXF – JAX-WS – Simple Tutorial but building the downloaded sample (out of the box!) fails in the very first step with:

Any idea what this means and why this is happening?
Is it a Maven problem? Eclipse problem? CXF problem? Hibernate problem? Project configuration problem? (downloaded 'as is', why would it be?)
How do I fix this error so that I can proceed with learning the basics of building a CXF-based client?
For your convenience (in case you don't want to download the sample ZIP in the link), here is the content of the pom.xml:
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>com.areyes.sample.server</groupId>
<artifactId>SampleWSCxfStub</artifactId>
<version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
<packaging>jar</packaging>
<hibernate.annotations.version>3.3.1.GA</hibernate.annotations.version>
<hibernate.validator.version>3.0.0.GA</hibernate.validator.version>

<hibernate.ejb3.persistence.version>1.0.2.GA</hibernate.ejb3.persistence.version>
<hibernate.version>3.2.6</hibernate.version>
</project>
Update:
After getting rid of the "Unrecognized tag" error (thanks to @Tome's answer), I had a different error:
"annotations are not supported in -source 1.3 (use -source 5 or higher to enable annotations"
But I was quickly able solve this (again, thanks to a tip from @Tome) by adding the following to the pom.xml:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.1</version>
<configuration>
<source>1.5</source>
<target>1.5</target>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
