Replacing jar when upgrade the hibernate from 3.6.5 to 4.3.5

Question

Right now, My project framework is Hibernate 3.6.5 now want to upgrade it to the latest one Hibernate 4.3.5.

There are some dependencies in between the .jar files.

My question is : What all are the .jar files need to be change/replace at the time of upgrade ?

Recently I have the following .jar files for the Hibernate 3.6.5.

Here is the recent required .jars for the Hibernate 4.3.5.

Which .jar files are need to be replace ?

Thanks.

Download the latest version of Hibernate from the following Site http://hibernate.org/.

After downloading unzip the Downloaded Zip file. Now you can see mainly three folders like documentation, lib, project.

Open lib folder, now you can see following folders envers, jpa, optional, osgi, required.

Add all jar files (under required folder) to the classpath and also add one more jar file (under jpa).
