Tables are not automatically getting created.

I have the hbm2ddl.auto configuration set in the hibernate.cfg.xml, I am using the same annotations in my POJO classes that are shown in the video, I believe the project structure is correct, and I don't get any errors on run of the app. The only thing I notice is that unlike the result in the video, I am not getting the "Hibernate: create table" message when I do a boot run (yes, my db server is running while I do this). Me not getting that create table message is my problem, but I don't know what's causing it.

I am also using the most up to date releases of these dependencies (if that matters).

It's a shame, I really need help with this too but looks like this course is too advanced for most people on the forums.
