my postgres server running on localhost , can connect shell can seen below:

however, within eclipse above error. hibernate config file below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!doctype hibernate-configuration system  "http://www.hibernate.org/dtd/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">  <hibernate-configuration>     <session-factory>         <!-- connection settings -->         <property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">org.postgresql.driver</property>         <property name="hibernate.connection.url">jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/postgres></property>         <property name="hibernate.connection.username">postgres</property>         <property name="hibernate.connection.password">password</property>          <!-- sql dialect -->         <property name="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.postgresqldialect</property>     </session-factory> </hibernate-configuration>
