Is Java EE required for hibernation

Question

Are there any additional Java EE libraries needed to run standalone Hibernate Java applications, or is there a sufficient standard SDK?

Answer 1

Hibernate works great on Java SE. It can be used as a JPA implementation on Java EE, but JPA can also be used perfectly on Java SE.

Answer 2

Java EE is not required to run Hibernate. I think it's a good idea to start with the Hibernate documentation. I think it is very intuitive and easy to follow.

jar : https://www.hibernate.org/344.html

Answer 3

Any JPA provider, including Hibernate, can be used outside of the Java EE container. There are several instructions for several providers in ORMs vs SQL: JPA history .
