Hibernate ORM

What version of xerces/xercesImpl does Hibernate5 use ?

I have xercesImpl 2.12.0 and hibernate5 and this combination is throwing following error.

I don’t think that Hibernate has any direct dependency on Xerces, it just relies on a JAXB provider. Looks like you might have multiple xerces artifacts with different versions on your class path though. Either way, that’s not a Hibernate problem.
