title: Hibernate Setup
body: <p>I always used Hibernate annotations in my old job, but since all our projects were already set up, I never really learned the mechanism behind it.</p>
  
  <p>Could someone please give me a brief outline of how to set everything up, just to get me started?</p>
  
  <p>I am developing in Java using Maven and Oracle 10g Express Edition. My IDE is Eclipse. </p>
