[Hibernate] Hibernate Annotations and EntityManager with EJB3 XML overriding support

[Emmanuel B. <emm...@hi...>]

Hibernate Annotations 3.1.0 beta10 and Hibernate EntityManager 3.1.0 
beta8 are out.
Included, support for EJB3 XML deployment descriptors (mostly complete 
except entity listeners) and the long awaited support for true Maps 
mapping (Map<Element, ...>, and Map<Embeddable, ...>).
This release will be the last beta one. All major features are now 
present, so expect a release candidate soon. Please test and report any 
issue into JIRA. Migrations from beta 9 and beta 7 shouldn't requires 
any extra work.

It's been a while now, but Hibernate EntityManager integrates out of the 
box with Glassfish (b44 and above), no more integration tricks. This 
means that Hibernate EntityManager now integrates smoothly with the 3 
main EJB3 implementations available out there ( including JBoss EJB3 of 
course). Hoping to see the closed source implementations to catch up 
soon :-)
