Mavem Hibernate dependency - which one to choose?

Question

I want to set up hibernate using Maven. In the pom.xml, I have an option to add a dependency.

When I go there and I want to add a dependency to hibernate, I type "hibernate" in the search bar.

I get a big list of results and I don't know which I should choose.

How do I figure out what do I need for a simple application which uses hibernate?

If you are starting a new project then most likely you want to use annotation-based configuration, then you need next libraries:

hibernate-core - main library
hibernate-annotations - annotations to avoid huge xml configurations.
hibernate-entitymanager - to use EntityManager

And optionally some of these:

hibernate-c3p0 - for connection pooling with c3p0
hibernate-ehcache - for caching

hibernate-annotations are not necessary anymore, see the answer [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4092558/what-are-the-maven-dependencies-to-use-hibernate-hibernate-annotations-and-ehc) – Tobias Liefke Dec 07 '15 at 14:16

I don't have any specific advice regarding Hibernate dependencies, but I would suggest you look for a tutorial regarding Hibernate and whatever specific use case or problem you are trying to solve. Then, determine which dependencies you need
