[hibernate-dev] Incompatibilites between hibernate-core 3.5.0-Beta-2 and hibernate-annotations 3.4.0GA

//Hi hiberante-developers, I don't understand exactly what the statement "*/Bundled with Hibernate Core as of 3.5.x" /*/(see below/) means, but I'd like to point out that there are several* *incompatibilities between hiberante3.jar (3.5beta2) and hibernate-annotations.jar + hibernate-commons-annotations.jar (3.4.0GA). This because of overlapping classes with different signature (please see exceptions below) The environment with 3.5beta2 works correctly only if in the classpath hiberante3.jar preceeds the other 2 jars. Please ignore this post in case the problem is already known best regards G.D. /Snippet of?/ https://www.hibernate.org/6.html Hibernate Annotations 3.4.0 GA 20.08.2008 Production / / */Bundled with Hibernate Core as of 3.5.x/* -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Classpath sequence:?? hibernate-annotations.jar:hibernate-commons-annotations.jar:hibernate3.jar ????
