Anyone else get a syntax error when using the updated code for Hibernate 5.2+?

Using new hibernate core was making trouble with lots of my methods, be sure to have the right dependency of this version by using all the dependency required. (you can download your hibernate core and find into libs directory the required dependency that could be missing)

I'm using Hibernate 5.2.9 Final and not any issue with getCriteriaBuilder() method. this is my syntax:

//Create CriteriaBuilder

CriteriaBuilder builder = session.getCriteriaBuilder();

I had the same issue,I forgot to refresh my build.gradle This is what is in my grade file compile group: 'org.hibernate', name: 'hibernate-core', version: '5.2.6.Final'

I'm using

'org.hibernate:hibernate-core:5.4.2.Final'

and following the updated documentation of Hibernate, you don't need to create any Criteria object. Instead, in the query string in createQuery(), you'd specify the entity name and it will automatically map the columns in the database to the fields in Contact, and therefore, will create a list of contacts when calling the method list(). Have a look at my code, it's functional.

@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
  private static List<Contact> fetchAllContacts() {
    Session session = sessionFactory.openSession();
    session.beginTransaction();
    List<Contact> contacts = session.createQuery("from Contact").list();
    session.getTransaction().commit();
    session.close();
    return contacts;
  }
