Hardy Ferentschik resolved HHH-4355.
------------------------------------

       Resolution: Fixed
    Fix Version/s: 3.5

Since switching to maven and using filtering for the properties files it was able to use maven profiles to switch the database to run against. 

Now after integrating Annotations and EntityManager back into Hibenrate Core we even have a unified profile handling for all modules

> Currently you have to edit hibernate.properties to be able to run the tests against a different database. The settings of this file should be externalized and filters should be used to filter appropriate settings according to a property, eg 'ant clean junit -Dtargetdb=mysql'.
> To make this really useful one would also need a way within the test to skip it for a particular database. Some tests don't make sense against a certain target db. This might be a separate issue. Maybe one could switch to Junit 4 and add some custom annotation for enabling/disabling a test depending on the db.
