Error while trying to connect sql server 2014 with Hibernate-core 5.2.7 Final

Question

I am learning java with Ibernate. I am using Maven to manage the project. I can think of the following INFO error: HHH000206: Hibernate.properties not found as below in the image (click on the image to make it bigger).

The stack trace of the error is this

I’m using the version of Hibernate Core 5.2.7.Final My file Hibernate.cfg.xml is this below:

This is my Hibernateutil class.

package com.cloud.util;

import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;
import org.hibernate.boot.registry.StandardServiceRegistryBuilder;
import org.hibernate.service.ServiceRegistry;

public class HibernateUtil {
    private static SessionFactory fabricaDeSessoes = criarFabricaDeSessoes();

    public static SessionFactory getFabricaDeSessoes() {
        return fabricaDeSessoes;
    }

    private static SessionFactory criarFabricaDeSessoes() {
        try {
            Configuration configuracao = new Configuration().configure();

            ServiceRegistry registro = new StandardServiceRegistryBuilder().applySettings(configuracao.getProperties()).build();

            SessionFactory fabrica = configuracao.buildSessionFactory(registro);

            return fabrica;
        } catch (Throwable ex) {
            System.err.println("A fábrica de sessões não pode ser criada." + ex);
            throw new ExceptionInInitializerError(ex);
        }
    }
}

Someone who knows how to tell me what can be? I tried a thousand things and do not understand what is wrong. Thank you, I’m waiting!
