Settle on an approach for instantiating constraint definitions
--------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HV-487
                 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HV-487
             Project: Hibernate Validator
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: engine
            Reporter: Gunnar Morling
             Fix For: 4.2.0.Final


Due to the addition of method constraints the completely fluent way for instantiating constraint definitions in the mapping API doesn't work anymore. The alternatives discussed so far include:

(1):
{code:java}
mapping.type( Marathon.class )
  .property( "name", METHOD )
  .constraint( new NotNullDef() )
{code}

(2):
{code:java}
mapping.type( Marathon.class )
  .property( "name", METHOD )
  .constraint( ConstraintDef.create( NotNullDef.class ) )
{code}

(3):
{code:java}
mapping.type( Marathon.class )
  .property( "name", METHOD )
  .constraint( NotNullDef.create() )
{code}

One approach must be chosen and implemented (as of HV-431 (2) is implemented).
