At the time of writing this, I wasn't aware of annotation processors and that would have been the right way to solve this issue. That should avoid dependencies going beyond compilation time, but would bring other issues, i.e. annotation processor discovery (we'd need one for JBoss Logging and one for this)…etc.

Yeah, it only contains annotations. I might have been confusing with the actual RHQ dependencies that the rhq-plugin/ module has, which might have a Hibernate 3.x dependency.
