HibernateException not subclass of Throwable error

Question

I had to replace the Hibernate call Connection conn = sessionImpl.connection() with the following, due to ".connection()" being deprecated in Hibernate. ref: session.connection() deprecated on Hibernate? A try;catch; is required, as doWork() throws a HibernateException.

try {
    session.doWork(
        new Work() {
            public void execute(Connection connection) throws SQLException 
            { 
                doSomething(connection); 
            }
        }
    );
} catch (HibernateException e) {
}

The problem is, I'm getting the following in Eclipse:

No exception of type HibernateException can be thrown; an exception type must be a subclass of Throwable

As far as I can tell, HibernateException chains back to Throwable, so I don't know what it's talking about.

I'm using hibernate-core 6.1.0

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Update/Fix

So it turns out I didn't have the right library on my classpath. HibernateException extends jakarta.persistence.PersistenceException I did have the following in my POM

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.eclipse.persistence</groupId>
    <artifactId>jakarta.persistence</artifactId>
    <version>2.2.3</version>
</dependency>

But I did NOT have the persistence API in my POM

<dependency>
    <groupId>jakarta.persistence</groupId>
    <artifactId>jakarta.persistence-api</artifactId>
    <version>3.1.0</version>
</dependency>

I had checked my POM before, but didn't realize there was a difference between the two. Thanks rzwitserloot for enticing me to look again.
