Here is an overview of the issue:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
        Key: HB-598
    Summary: ehcache is deemed optional, but it is actually required
       Type: Bug

     Status: Unassigned
   Priority: Major

    Project: Hibernate2
 Components: 
             core
   Versions:
             2.1

   Assignee:

Description:
ehcache.jar is specified as "optional" in lib/README.txt. However if Hibernate is initialized without specifying explicit value for "hibernate.cache.provider_class", it will default to "net.sf.ehcache.hibernate.Provider", and a ClassNotFoundException will be thrown if ehcache.jar is not present. Either improve the documentation to say something like:
 "required by default, except if you specify another cache provider"
or alternatively work around to remove this implicit reqiured dependency.
