Renaming package/classes breaks Hibernate annontations 3.2.0CR1 --------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-1993 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-1993 Project: Hibernate3 Type: Bug Components: core Versions: 3.2.0.cr3 Environment: Hibernate 3.2CR3, Mssql2005 Reporter: Sondre Eikanger Kvalø After upgrading from Hibernate Core 3.2cr2 to Hibernate Core 3.2cr3, building a sessionfactory with Hibernate Annotations fails completely with the following error: NoClassDefFoundError: org/hibernate/loader/custom/SQLQueryReturn Apparantly this class has been moved to a new package between these to releases. This is strictly not a bug in the common sense as I assume it will be fixed in the next Hibernate Annotations 3.2 candidate release , but it is a reminder to the team that moving classes between to Candidate Releases is not a good practise as people expect the API to be "frozen" when a project reaches CR status.
