[FIXED] Install Hibernate in Netbeans 12.0 "version 238"

Issue

When trying to install the Hibernate plugin in Netbeans I get an error. There is only one post that collects the same error. I have followed the prompts and it has not worked for me. I have reinstalled Netbeans and changed the org-netbeans-libs-freemarker.jar file. Changing from 239 to 238: OpenIDE module specification version: 2.44.0.238 OpenIDE module implementation version: 238

Even so I keep getting the same error:

Some plugins require plugin org.netbeans.libs.freemarker to be installed. The plugin org.netbeans.libs.freemarker is requested in implementation version 238. The following plugin is affected: Hibernate

Solution
