Are there extra Java EE libraries required to run Hibernate standalone Java applications, or is the standard SDK sufficient?

Hibernate works just fine on Java SE. It can be used as a JPA implementation on Java EE, but JPA, as well, can be used just fine on Java SE.

Any JPA provider, including Hibernate, can be used outside of a Java EE container. There are some instructions for a few providers in ORMs vs SQL: The JPA Story.

Java EE is not required to run Hibernate. I think a good place to start is with the Hibernate documentation. I think it is very intuitive and easy to follow.

You can also find the jar files to download here: https://www.hibernate.org/344.html
