hibernate annotations compile error

Question

I'm encountering a strange problem when i try to compile a DTO file which has hibernate annotations to map to db . when fails with a strange message log below. what could be the cause of this problem? i suppose the error comes from file CashDTO . what am i doing wrong in file CashDTO.java?
