Failed to create sessionFactory object.org.hibernate.boot.registry.classloading.spi.ClassLoadingException: Unable to load class [org.sqlite.JDBC] - spring

Question

I'm trying to use Hibernate with sqlite. I downloaded an SQLiteDialect.java file from GitHub which seems to be working fine, but I still get the "Unable to load class" error. I think it has something to do with my application-context but I'm not sure what it could be. Here's the full application-context.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

</beans>
and the pom.xml:

You miss the sqlite-jdbc.jar add
<dependency>
<groupId>org.xerial</groupId>
<artifactId>sqlite-jdbc</artifactId>
<version>3.6.20</version>
</dependency>
To your pom file
