ClassNotFoundException when I try to deploy to Tom

Question

I'm new to Eclipse/STS, and I am having deploying to Tomcat / tcServer. My project builds just fine and deploys to Tomcat fine both in Netbeans and directly to Tomcat, but it will not deploy to Tomcat or tc Server in Eclipse. I get a ClassNotFoundException for org.hibernate.HibernateException, which I know is on the included in the pom.

Here's my log output if it helps.

Also in the markers view, I see the following build path problem:

Archive for required library: '~/.m2/repository/org/hibernate/hibernate-core/4.1.1.Final/hibernate-core-4.1.1.Final.pom' in project 'flamespass-web-dev' cannot be read or is not a valid ZIP file

Answer 1

I found a work around: I noticed that I had hibernate-core:4.1.1.Final in my Dependency Hierarchy twice, so I tried a few things, and specifying the newest version of hibernate-core in my dependencyManagement node fixed my problem.

I am not sure why. I can only assume that the two copies of hibernate-core:4.1.1 were creating some sort of ambiguity that m2eclipse or WTP couldn't understand even though my external Maven/Tomcat could. I would really appreciate any explanation or better fixes anyone may have. Thanks.
