Give @IndexColumn a default name
--------------------------------

         Key: ANN-538
         URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/ANN-538
     Project: Hibernate Annotations
        Type: Improvement

    Versions: 3.2.1    
    Reporter: Sven Meier
    Priority: Minor


It would be great, if the @IndexColumn annotation had a default 'name'.

This would support users (e.g. me ;) in their effort to keep persistence annotations clear of database specifics. Additionally @IndexColumn is a rather often used annotation and it's tedious to repeat the same information (i.e. the 'name') over and over again.

I'd propose 'hibernate_index', similar to the defaults in net.sf.hibernate.id.TableGenerator.

Preferably this default would come from NamingStrategy, but I'm not sure how stable this interface is supposed to be.
