Had a *quick* look at the code, and looks like the only direct use of 
the JBC node locking scheme is a check for OPTIMISTIC in the JBC config, 
which if true leads to use of classes that store versions in the cache. 
With MVCC we don't need to store versions, so looks like the existing 
logic is fine.

If the hibernate guys object to changing the dependency to 3.x, we could 
look at handling this via a maven profile. If there's no compile time 
dependency on JBC 3 in the main code or the tests (likely, since MVCC is 
configured via XML) then we could isolate execution of the MVCC tests in 
a profile.

Downside to the profile approach is the standard JBC configs that ship 
would still use PESSIMISTIC/OPTIMISTIC.
