it means that the XML parser is having a problem trying to access your DTD definition. So first thing to do is to see if you can browse the url for it directly and also check your proxy settings. In my case, I changed it

from

<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC
        "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN"
        "http://www.hibernate.org/dtd/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">

to

<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC
        "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN"
        "http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">

I think you can also try using "http://www.jboss.org/dtd/hibernate/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd". It seems like hibernate.org fwds to the jboss location anyways.

(as of today....unless the urls change again)
