How would I write a simple program using Hibernate in Java, with MySQL as a backend?

+4  A: 

The Hibernate reference docs are a good place to start.

Maybe a "Hello, Hibernate" can help.

A: 

In addition to Duffymo's suggestion, I would recommend trying out Netbeans 6.5. I am just starting out with hibernate as well. Netbeans automates database mapping and seems to integrate well with Hibernate. It has helped ease me into the framework.

IntelliJ has good support as well, but it is not free :) I don't know about automating, but I think the Hibernate folks offer some tools for that.
