org.hibernate.MappingNotFoundException: resource: edu/hib/pojo/Employee.orm.xml not found

I am trying to configure hbm2java for my sample hibernate project. When i am adding the task in build.xml and ran it getting the below error.

Buildfile: D:\Laboratory\myfirstorm\build.xml
[hibernatetool] Executing Hibernate Tool with a Standard Configuration
[hibernatetool] 1. task: hbm2java (Generates a set of .java files)
[hibernatetool] log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.hibernate.cfg.Environment).
[hibernatetool] log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
[hibernatetool] An exception occurred while running exporter #2:hbm2java (Generates a set of .java files)

[hibernatetool] A resource located at edu/hib/pojo/Employee.orm.xml was not found.
[hibernatetool] Check the following:
[hibernatetool] 
[hibernatetool] 1) Is the spelling/casing correct ?
[hibernatetool] 2) Is edu/hib/pojo/Employee.orm.xml available via the classpath ?
[hibernatetool] 3) Does it actually exist ?

BUILD FAILED

I have also checked the three points which ant suggested... The file Employee.orm.xml actually exists in the specified directory.. can anybody help me on this ?

Is edu/hib/pojo/Employee.orm.xml available via the classpath?

It's not sufficient that the file exists. It has to exist in the classpath for hbm2java. That's because it isn't being read "as a file", but instead is being read via the classloader as a resource.
