c3p0 hibernate Caelum[RESOLVIDO]

Caros,
Estou tentando colocar um exercício da CAELUM para rodar mas estou tendo um probleminha, vejam.
Trata-se do exemplo do uso do c3p0 (Pool de conexões do Hibernate)

Tenho esse método para criar 30 conexoes com a base:

	       for(int i=0; i < 30 ;i++){
				EntityManager manager = JPAUtil.getEntityManager();
				manager.getTransaction().begin();
				System.out.println("Criando EntityManager "+i);
		}

E tenho o persistence.xml

 <property name="hibernate.c3p0.min_size" value="5"/>
          <property name="hibernate.c3p0.max_size" value="10"/>
		  <property name="hibernate.c3p0.timeout" value="300"/>
		  <property name="hibernate.c3p0.idle_test_period"  value="3000"/>
		  <property name="hibernate.connection.provider_class" value="org.hibernate.service.jdbc.connections.internal.C3P0ConnectionProvider"/>

As bibliotecas são: c3p0-0.9.1.jar e hibernate-c3p0-3.6.0.Final.jar e essa jandex-1.1.0.Final.jar (Não entendi pq preciso dessa última!)

Mas recebo esse erro:

Se não declarar a linha <property name=“hibernate.connection.provider_class” value=“org.hibernate.service.jdbc.connections.internal.C3P0ConnectionProvider”/> roda e executa mas também não limita o número de conexões!!!
