[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HHH-2125) Hibernate XML Mapping should not depend on dom4j

Hibernate XML Mapping should not depend on dom4j ------------------------------------------------ Key: HHH-2125 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-2125 Project: Hibernate ORM Issue Type: Improvement Components: core Affects Versions: 3.2.0 cr1, 3.2.0.cr2, 3.2.0.cr3, 3.2.0.cr4 Environment: all Reporter: Don Smith Hibernate XML mapping requires dom4j, which is one of the packages that causes the Java version of "dll hell" - applications requiring conflicting versions of jars with no way to resolve the problem in a given release of an application server or package. HIbernate should be converted to use the standard XML APIs included in the JRE 5.0 specification, when Hibernate no longer needs to support JRE 1.4.x.
