Re: [hibernate-dev] 6.0 planning
My initial goals and foreseeable decision-points in consolidating
hibernate-core and hibernate-entitymanager are:
1. SessionFactory extends EntityManagerFactory
(+ HibernateEntityManagerFactory methods)
2. Session extends EntityManager
3. Managing event-listener differences is the biggest thing we need to
watch for. Initially I plan on having both sets of listener impls
available and picking one or the other based on whether we were bootstrap
via JPA bootstrapping or not. I'll have to see how that plays out.
4. Speaking of bootstrapping... since SessionFactory extends
EntityManagerFactory, the bootstrapping APIs introduced in 5.0 is capable
of building an EntityManagerFactory. I'd additionally like to develop an
extended persistence.xml XSD, adding Hibernate specifics and allow JPA and
Hibernate-native bootstrapping to read it.
5. Another big question is exceptions. JPA is very specific about the
exceptions types that should be thrown in most cases. Ideally we can blend
these 2 exception type hierarchies, but I think there will be times we have
to chose one or the other.

+1 I would love to see this finally happening. There were several
discussions
over time on whether and when it should be done. I think there was a
general agreement
that it makes sense to merge the modules, but afair there were always some
technicalities
which were preventing us to do it. ORM 6 seems to be a good point in time
to just do it.
