[rules-users] Does guvnor 5.1 uses hibernate ?

Hello All, I am investigating Drools Guvnor for its rule authoring capabilities. *The site says the Gunor License is ASL but it packages hibernate jars. Hibernate license is LGPL.* I removed the hibernate jars from Guvnor & still it is able to perform db operations. Note: Guvnor is using Oracle database as a repository (not using the default file system repo). Repository file attached. *Question: 1. Does Guvnor uses hibernate jars? If yes then in what scenarios. (I am able to do create rules in repo (database) without hibernate jars) 2. Is hibernate a leftover from old versions of drools ? Why is it packaged with drools 5.1 guvnor release ?* *Tasks performed to proove that Guvnor does not have any dependency on hibernate.* 1. Stopped the JBOSS server 2. Removed hibernate jars from guvnor lib folder. 3. Started Guvnor 3. Created rules in guvnor. I verified that the new rules were getting stored in the database. Hence no dependency of guvnor on Hibernate. --harshit
