Type mismatch: cannot convert from StandardServiceRegistry to ServiceRegistry

I'm coding the same as the instructor is doing in this video. But I get a warning as given in the title. In eclipse, it is telling me to cast to ServiceRegistry(and it is working on cast). All I wanted to know is, how come the instructor not getting this error/warning. Is it because he is using IntelliJ? Is there a way that I can do it without casting the object, If so How can I do this?

Got it, There was a wrong Import done. :) I had to import:

import org.hibernate.boot.registry.StandardServiceRegistryBuilder;

Just a quick Headsup for anyone having the same problem. There is also a ServiceRegistry in Java (Javax.io I think). IntelliJ imported this one and the hibernate one for me automatically, but it somehow used the Java one. So I had to delete the Java Service registry import and then type the hibernate one again.

I had the same issue. I had to remove this import which intellij added:

import javax.imageio.spi.ServiceRegistry;

and add this one:

import org.hibernate.service.ServiceRegistry;
