[wildfly-dev] Hibernate 5 in WildFly 9...

Hi, Just a heads up for others, that I started making local changes to integrate the Hibernate ORM master (5.0) branch in Jipijapa and WildFly master (9.0). If others would like to contribute on this effort, I can share links to my integration branches. So far, I have been keeping the 1-1 bidirectional Hibernate dependencies in mind for this work. Currently, this is done by placing the latest Hibernate ORM jars in the org.hibernate:main module. Placeholder modules are also available for earlier Hibernate releases (org.hibernate:3 + org.hibernate:4.1). When we introduce Hibernate 5 as the default in WildFly 9, we will also have a legacy org.hibernate:4.3 module. Applications can also include persistence providers as well, they just need to include the Jipijapa integration classes as well (see https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/WFLY8/JPA+Reference+Guide#JPARefere...). We also could look at doing something similar to Hibernate ORM org.hibernate.boot.registry.selector.spi.StrategySelector (if we can find something to group on.) In the past, we talked about adding logical names for each (future) persistence provider module name, so that users could use a shorter (logical) name in their application configuration (e.g. persistence.xml hints). It would also be awesome to have a configuration setting for specifying the default persistence provider name based on a logical name that could be specified in standalone.xml. Question: Is anyone against removing Hibernate 3.x support from WildFly 9? Scott
