Exception in example Using Hibernate Entity Manager in 2nd chapter of Java Persistence WithHibernate

[Deepaks Deshpande]

Hi,

I am trying out the hello world example in the 2nd chapter (sesction 2.2.2 Using Hibernate Entity Manager)of Manning's Java Persistence with Hibernate book.
I have created a simple java project in eclipse called HibernateEntityManager. I have included the following jars in the lib folder.

antlr-2.7.6.jar
asm-attrs-2.2.jar
asm.jar
c3p0-0.9.1.1.jar
cglib.jar
commons-collections-3.1.jar
commons-logging-1.1.1.jar
dom4j-1.6.1.jar
ejb3-persistence.jar
hibernate-annotations.jar
hibernate-c3p0-3.3.1.GA.jar
hibernate-entitymanager-3.3.2.GA.jar
hibernate-jpa-2.0-api-1.0.0-CR-1.jar
hibernate-tools-3.2.4.GA.jar
hibernate3.jar
javassist-3.12.0.GA.jar
jboss-archive-browsing.jar
jta-1.1.jar
log4j-1.2.16.jar
postgresql-9.0-801.jdbc4.jar
slf4j-api-1.6.1.jar
slf4j-simple-1.6.1.jar

I have the "persistence.xml" file under the META_INF directory which is placed under the src directory.
When I am running this application It is giving me the following exception

I have googled regarding the exception and its cause but i have been unable to find any solution for the same.
Thank you.
