I'm trying to go through Hibernate tutorial and got stuck on running the command

C:\Users\Eyal\workspace\FirstHibernateTutorial>mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainclass="o
rg.hsqldb.Server" -Dexec.args="-database.O file:target/data/tutorial" -e

and get these errors.

I did changed one thing in the pom file. I added the versions of the dependencies. this is the pom.xml. I changed it because without it, I'm getting errors about lack of version specification.

I think the main problem is in the line

The parameters 'mainClass' for goal org .codehaus.mojo:exec-maven-plugin:1.2:java are missing or invalid -> [Help 1]

Why does mainClass is not valid? Can you see something I don't?

EDIT:

OK, I changed "mainclass" to "mainClass" and it gives me this error about not finding "org.hsqldb.Server". I added hsqldb.jar to Eclipse' reference libraries but still it gives me the same error.

This is the stack print:

It should be mainClass not mainclass.

-Dexec.mainClass="org.hsqldb.Server"

Read more on this here and here.

And hsqldb should be in your maven dependencies:

<dependency> 
  <groupId>org.hsqldb</groupId> 
  <artifactId>hsqldb</artifactId> 
  <version>2.0.0</version> 
</dependency>

Please be aware, that the "configuration" section must be out of the execution section (see example below). Otherwise you get the "missing or invalid mainClass" error.

            <plugin>
