Eclipse The import org.hibernate cannot be resolved

Question

I'm quite new to Android SDK. I'm trying to use Hibernate/Criteria but it gives an error.

I have installed Hibernate following these steps.

Help -> Install New Software
Click on Add. Location: http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/stable/
Inside JBoss Web and Java EE Development folder, select Hibernate Tools
Click on Next

I can see that Hibernate has been installed in Eclipse but why the error keeps showing?

import org.hibernate.Criteria;
Criteria criteria = new Criteria();

error

The import org.hibernate cannot be resolved

import android.app.Activity;

    }

    private void setUpMap() {
        // Enable MyLocation Layer of Google Map
        googleMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);

        // Get LocationManager object from System Service LOCATION_SERVICE
        LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);

        // Create a criteria object to retrieve provider
        Criteria criteria = new Criteria(); //THIS IS WHERE THE ERROR IS

        // Get the name of the best provider
        String provider = locationManager.getBestProvider(criteria, true);

        // Get Current Location
        Location myLocation = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(provider);

        //set map type
        googleMap.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_HYBRID);

        // Get latitude of the current location
        double latitude = myLocation.getLatitude();

        // Get longitude of the current location
        double longitude = myLocation.getLongitude();

        // Create a LatLng object for the current location
        LatLng latLng = new LatLng(latitude, longitude);      

        // Show the current location in Google Map        
        googleMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(latLng));

        // Zoom in the Google Map
        googleMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(20));
        googleMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(new LatLng(latitude, longitude)).title("You are here!"));
    }

You need to add Hibernate Jar to your project classpath or to your eclipse library list.

Also, by adding Help-> Install New Software you are adding Hibernate plugin for eclipse and not adding Hibernate lib to your eclipse project.

Here are some links for adding jars to eclipse project or classpath:

Ok, so the classpath is /src but where can find the .jars? – Naveen Gamage Jan 08 '15 at 11:00
Download your required version from net eg: http://sourceforge.net/projects/hibernate/files/hibernate3/ – Deepak Shingan Jan 08 '15 at 11:04
I have currently installed 4.2.1. Is it fine to download 3.* jars or do I have to download 4.2.1 jars? – Naveen Gamage Jan 08 '15 at 11:11
If no specific requirement for version, download latest which is 4.2.1. – Deepak Shingan Jan 08 '15 at 11:15
Thanks! I have done everything and now the error is gone but I got a new error `Cannot instantiate the type Criteria`. Any idea why this is happening? – Naveen Gamage Jan 08 '15 at 11:15
Would please paste your complete Java file? – Deepak Shingan Jan 08 '15 at 11:20
Criteria is an interface so cant create instance directly. Visit for more details http://www.tutorialspoint.com/hibernate/hibernate_criteria_queries.htm – Deepak Shingan Jan 08 '15 at 11:31
But I have seen it many Google Maps tutorials. eg:http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15679205/android-locationmanager-criteria – Naveen Gamage Jan 08 '15 at 11:34
I finally found the solution. I'm not even suppose to use `Hibernate`. I'm suppose to use `android.Criteria`. http://developer.android.com/reference/android/location/Criteria.html – Naveen Gamage Jan 08 '15 at 11:40
Thanks a lot Deepak Shingan! Appreciate it. – Naveen Gamage Jan 08 '15 at 11:40
This is interesting,I'd assumed that the plugin cannot work without those jars. – zionpi Mar 11 '16 at 07:09
