Hibernate jars compatibility issues

Question

I am a newbie in hibernate. Can anyone help me finding out what all jars should I add (like search, annotaions , JBoss etc.) I am using hibernate 3.5.1 FINAL. Here is the current pom.xml and hibernate.cfg.xml ,

but i found there are some compatibility issues in versions.

Error:"IncompatibleClassChangeError: class org.hibernate.cfg.ExtendedMappings  
                      has interface org.hibernate.cfg.Mappings as super class"

pom.xml

Looking at the POM for Hibernate Search 4.1.1.Final (https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/repositories/public/org/hibernate/hibernate-search-parent/4.1.1.Final/hibernate-search-parent-4.1.1.Final.pom) you can see that is requires Hibernate ORM in version 4.1.3.Final. That's what I would start with (definitely no older version).

Also, why do you specify the versions of Hibernate ORM, Annotations etc explicitly. If you just specify the Hibernate Search version you want you get all other Hibernate dependencies automatically as transitive dependencies in their right version.

And then, last but not least, why Search 4.1.3? There is a 4.3.0.Final available as well.
