[hibernate-dev] Hibernate ORM 4.1.1 release - Undocumented behavior change in Optimistic Versioning ?

[Steve Ebersole]

http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/orm/3.5/reference/en-US/html_single/#collections-indexedbidirectional

Though:
1) Reading back through that section its not really clearly stated.
2) Later work to "fold in" the annotation mappings seems to have 
completely dropped this unclearly stated point.

Essentially what the section is trying to say is that if the child 
defines an attribute that is the map key (or list index) from the 
parent collection perspective, the collection can still be inverse 
(non-owning).  which totally makes sense, if you think it through.
