[hibernate-dev] Annotations to separate package?

[Steve Ebersole]

We've been there before :)  Annotations used to be a separate jar.  We 
went out of our way to consolidate them.  I don't think it makes any 
sense to split them back out.  Nor do I see how it solves your concern 
anyway.  Yes you no longer would get the error I guess, but that does 
not mean its doing TheRightThing.

I think this is a really nice feature, however in our case most of our products need Envers on the classpath even though only some product are actually using Envers. This is because we have made a common data model which is used by most of our products, some of these model classes have @Audited annotations, so Envers is required on the classpath.
