See this post.

What is the jdbc driver "org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver" for?

You need to download correct mysql connector and put it on your classpath as the one you are using (org-gjt-mm-mysql-driver) is very old

And change your hibernate configuration to use it.

Make sure that the jar file containing the driver is in your classpath when you run the hibernate tool.
