Exception in Hello World Program in Hibernate

Question

Hi All
I am trying to run my first "Hello World" hibernate program in the book "Java Persitance with Hibernate". I have written the model class and the main class.
I have also create the mapping file Message.hbm.xml and hibernate configuration file hibernate.cfg.xml through hibernate tools. Now when I am running the main class i am getting the following exception.
SLF4J: Failed to load class "org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder".
SLF4J: See http://www.slf4j.org/codes.html#StaticLoggerBinder for further details.

I have posted this question here because this is a hibernate program with is related to database connectivity. What i would like to know is what is the jar file i am missing and why is it not present in the required folders of hibernate distribution.Yeah. With that kind of unproductive attitude I suddenly lose all interest in helping. So weird.
Guess I'll do what I like: be blunt. You are allowed to think. I suggest you do so.
