[hibernate-dev] Hibernate.next version and AS 7.2 community release...

[Scott Marlow]

I'm going to look at improving the AS7 boot time for JPA applications as 
part of the AS 7.2 release (perhaps for the first 7.2 alpha if 
possible).  I'll collect more details about the improvements that I want 
to make (with regard to were we are spending excessive time for 
deployments that need improving as I learn more about them from Jason).

As part of this effort for the AS 7.2 release, I may come up with 
Hibernate improvements/issues (in 
persistenceProvider.createContainerEntityManagerFactory()) that would be 
good to include changes for.  I think that now is a good time for a 
discussion of what Hiberate ORM version should be included in AS 7.2.  I 
hope that it is a release higher than 4.1.4 (so that we can make further 
Hibernate ORM improvements).

I think another requirement for the Hibernate release that we integrate 
into AS 7.2, is that it be compatible with the project stack expected to 
work with AS 7.2 (Seam 2.3, Spring, Infinispan 2lc integration, other 
Hibernate portfolio projects, customer applications).  This will be 
important when the AS 7.2 changes are merged into a product branch.
