Hibernate buildSessionFactory() Ausnahme

Ich habe ein ernsthaftes problem mit hibernate. Ich folgte verschiedenen Büchern und online-tutorials, aber ich habe schon mal die gleiche Ausnahme "ExceptionInInitializerError" offensichtlich ausgelöst durch die HibernateUtil.java Linie

SessionFactory sf = cfg.configure().buildSessionFactory();

Meine Tomcat-log sagt Folgendes:
