Thread: Netbeans & Hibernate Issues

Has anyone had this problem where Nebeans cannot locate the hibernate.cfg.xml file no matter where it is placed or where it is configured configure it?
This is the error message:

org.hibernate.internal.util.config.ConfigurationException: Could not locate cfg.xml resource [/hibernateConfig.xml]

The hibernate.cfg.xml file is in the default package since the error persists if I use the resources folder.

Here is my configuration code:

 Configuration config = new Configuration().configure(
              "/hibernateConfig.xml")
              .addAnnotatedClass(Client.class)
              .addAnnotatedClass(CarSpare.class);
      StandardServiceRegistry serviceRegistry = new StandardServiceRegistryBuilder().applySettings(config.getProperties()).build();
 
      sessionFactory = config.buildSessionFactory(serviceRegistry);

For completeness I have included the pom.xml file
