java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.addAnnotatedClass while using Hibernate Annotation and Maven

Question

I am new to Maven and web technologies. I am getting error

"java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.addAnnotatedClass(Ljava/lang/Class;)Lorg/hibernate/cfg/Configuration; "

while doing CRUD operation using hibernate . Can some one please look into my pom.xml and suggest what am I missing ( Server is Tomcat) :

 SessionFactory sf = new 
 Configuration().configure().addAnnotatedClass(Inbox.class).
                 addAnnotatedClass(UserControl.class).
                 addAnnotatedClass(UserData.class).
                 addAnnotatedClass(UserData.class).buildSessionFactory();

@JarrodRoberson It is not an exact duplicate. And you remove the `hibernate` tag, so `hibernate` related guys will not be able to notice that question and help :) — v.ladynev, Nov 05 '17 at 14:50

You have dependencies for different Hibernate versions 5.2.11.Final and 3.2.6.ga

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
    <version>5.2.11.Final</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate</artifactId>
    <version>3.2.6.ga</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate-annotations</artifactId>
    <version>3.5.6-Final</version>
</dependency>

If you use an application server, for example Wildfly, you will need to disable Hibernate module that bundled with Wildfly.
