Tony L commented on New Feature HHH-7527

Steve, I'm not sure what the exact problems is.

Is hibernate not quite ready yet to enter as an OSGI bundle (this says its good to go: http://www.infoq.com/news/2012/01/hibernate-4-released/), or are you just missing someone who can generate you the OSGI Manifests in 'a way that should be done'?

I have gone though the exercise with Hibernate 3.5 and I have managed to package it for OSGI with Bundlor - tested and works under Glassfish/Felix OSGI environment in a Web Application Bundle.

Overall, I had the hibernate core and commons-annotations as bundles, and entitymanager and annotations were fragments with core as host. That seemed to be the approach from the Spring Bundle Repository.

I have identified the dependencies: antlr, javassist, cglib and dom4j. I decided which versioned imports and exports were required - which was the hardest part for me not being a Hibernate dev.

If you want I can share the template files for Bundlor for Hibernate 3, and go through this for Hibernate 4.

Steve, Can you please help explain a bit here and if I am missing something?
