Steve Ebersole ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?accountId=557058%... ) *commented* on HHH-15996 ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-15996?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiNWExMT... ) Re: Develop an abstraction for Annotation ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-15996?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiNWExMT... ) This is largely done. See: * AnnotationDescriptor ( https://github.com/sebersole/hibernate-orm/blob/annotation-source/hiberna... ) * AnnotationUsage ( https://github.com/sebersole/hibernate-orm/blob/annotation-source/hiberna... ) * AnnotationDescriptorRegistry ( https://github.com/sebersole/hibernate-orm/blob/annotation-source/hiberna... ) * HibernateAnnotations ( https://github.com/sebersole/hibernate-orm/blob/annotation-source/hiberna... ) * JpaAnnotations ( https://github.com/sebersole/hibernate-orm/blob/annotation-source/hiberna... ) Even though a paradigm of boot-time metamodel binding it to avoid loading classes, Hibernate considers it safe to immediately load annotation Class references. There is no need to delay those - we will never need to enhance them ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-15996#add-comment?atlOrigin=ey... ) Add Comment ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-15996#add-comment?atlOrigin=ey... ) Get Jira notifications on your phone!
