--------------------------------------

To bad about Maven 2 (!= slow Maven 1), but understandable that's its definitly not a priority.
The meta-data of the hibernate jars in the central repo is good, so there is no real need trying to convince you :)
But if you're ever interested, read the freely downloadable m2 book - it contains a chapter on migration from ANT.


Validator really deserves it own jar (maybe even it's own JSR?), as many application that don't use a database could benefit from it, (including my exceptionhandling example in spring-richclient). But since I want to propose changing one of the spring-richclient sample from JDBC to hibernate, we 'll have to deal with the javax.persistence jar not being in the central repo anyway.

Ps: Keep up the good work, hibernate-annotations is wonderful, especially the @MappedSuperclass is a big improvement over classic hibernate.

> I'd like to use the validator framework, but without pulling hibernate in as a dependency.
> Currently, if I try to instantiate a ClassValidator, a org.hibernate.MappingException cannot be found.
> Consequently, the validator framework could also be independent of the rest of the annotations, and be distributed in its own jar.
