Download hibernate-orm-bom JAR file with all dependencies

This bill of materials (BOM) POM covers all the Hibernate ORM artifacts related to a particular version. By importing this BOM, you fix the version of all of Hibernate-related artifacts to the versions associated with a particular release. This prevents the overriding of Hibernate transitive dependencies which in turn could cause version conflicts between libraries. To use this BOM, add the following in your POM: <dependencyManagement> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>com.covisint.core</groupId> <artifactId>hibernate-orm-bom</artifactId> <version>4.3.1.Final</version> <type>pom</type> <scope>import</scope> </dependency> </dependencies> </dependencyManagement> And then declare your dependency on the Hibernate artifacts *without* a version.
