Re: [hibernate-dev] Bytecode enhancement
Hi Guillaume,
A Maven plugin for build time enhancement of entities is coded up.
Not without a few problems along the way. But I think we are there now.
Comments are in-lined with your questions.
There should be a plugin in the maven repo soon (if not now) using a
Mojo and the necessary descriptors declaring dependencies. pull/669
The documentation has a PR waiting to merge showing users how to
configure for Ant, Maven or Gradle. Look at
https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-orm/pull/667 for configuration
information going into the reference manual.

Hi,
I took a look at the bytecode enhancement Maven plugin and I also have
this issuehttps://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-8833 .
As far as I can tell the Maven plugin (and I suppose the Gradle plugin
too) doesn't provide any information about the classpath so it's
impossible to use the bytecode enhancement plugin in real life
applications because you obviously have dependencies to other classes.
https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-orm/blob/4.2/hibernate-enhance-mav...
https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-orm/blob/4.2/hibernate-gradle-plug...
Are there more dependency declarations you needed ?
Is this something supported or something very experimental? I found
some old posts of Emmanuel discouraging the use of bytecode
enhancement so I'm not sure it's a good idea to invest our time in it?
Basically, we have a lot of nullable @OneToOne properties and as far
as I understood it, it's supposed to help this case a lot.
Maybe using something like
http://www.mograblog.com/2010/01/setting-classloader-in-maven-plugin.html
might be a good idea for the Maven plugin?
Anyway feedback welcome before we invest time in it.
Thanks.
