[hibernate-dev] [infinispan-dev] Hibernate 3.5.0.Beta-1 released

[Manik Surtani]

Try typing "hibernate default cache provider" into Google.  ;-)

Note that the (official?) docs [1] state: "Note that versions prior to  
3.2 use EhCache as the default cache provider."  So perhaps most of  
the hits refer to old versions of Hibernate.  And if the reason for  
removing a default altogether is to pass a TCK and multiple inits, we  
can have a chat about this to see how we can make this work  
(Infinispan has a concept of a default cache, which "just works" and  
is always available, if that helps with multiple inits).

All the same, it would be good to have some sort of preference  
expressed in the docs even if you don't want to ship a default, but  
that's up to you guys.

Cheers
Manik
