That failed in testsuite with:
Failed tests:
testProxyReuse(org.hibernate.test.legacy.ParentChildTest)

testPaginationWithPolymorphicQuery(org.hibernate.test.hql.ASTParserLoadingTest)
testMultipleBagFetchesFail(org.hibernate.test.hql.ASTParserLoadingTest)
testDuplicateImplicitJoinInSelect(org.hibernate.test.hql.HQLTest)

Tests in error:

testLoadingAndSerializationOfConfiguration(org.hibernate.test.cfg.ConfigurationPerformanceTest)

testSessionFactoryCreationTime(org.hibernate.test.cfg.ConfigurationPerformanceTest)
testComplexCriteria(org.hibernate.test.legacy.ParentChildTest)

It seems you have the right setup, then :-) To let Maven finish the build even with some test failures, you can set the following properties:

-Dmaven.test.error.ignore=true
-Dmaven.test.failure.ignore=true

Are these expected errors, then?

I also disable the distribution (otherwise, it may fail in environments which doesn't have "po2xml"):

-DdisableDistribution=true

Thanks for that. I've installed po2xml and will give it another shot later.

I have another question. The particular bug I wrote a patch for only comes up with MySQL. Is there some way to test hibernate against MySQL? Just out of curiosity, is there a build farm for hibernate that covers all of the different databases like Postgres has for operating systems at http://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_status.pl ?

Thanks!
