Hmm...

Congratulations on your persistence! Having fought successfully for
several hours last night to successfully get a very simple tutorial
example working on an unrelated piece of software, I have some idea of
the frustrations involved!

Well you appear to have checked the obvious that I had thought might be
the problem!

I might well be using Hibernate soon with Postgres, so I'll be following
the resolution of you problem, and I also use Eclipse

Cheers,
Gavin
