[jboss-rpm] Hibernate 4 support is available in JBoss AS in Fedora Rawhide (jboss-as-7.1.1-10)

[Marek Goldmann]

Hi Ricardo,

New Maven resolver that has support for Java compat packages was added 
only for Rawhide for testing, since we're not sure it works the way we 
expect. At least I can see that it works indeed as advertised, so we'll 
try to port it to F18 sometime soon.

More info on compat packages:

It seems that javapackages-tools is in the same version currently in F18 
as in Rawhide. I'll check with Stanislav what else we need and let you 
know, maybe it works already and we have green light to make H4 
available in Fedora 18.
