Answer 1

If you are using Maven as build tool then place hibernate.cfg.xml under resources folder.

Steps to make application refer Hibernate Configuration File.

Right click the resources folder and select Mark Directory As option and click on Resources Root.

These steps worked for me in InteliJ IDEA Ultimate 14.
