Latest patch is misnamed.  Should be applied to CR1, not CR2

> Using hbm.xml configuration for many-to-one, there is a foreign-key property that allows you to specify the name of the FK constraint.  It would be nice if there was something similar for annotations, such as @ManyToOne ( constraintName = "FK_WHATEVER").  Also, a sensible default would be nice to, for example FK_TABLE_NAME_COLUMN_NAME, rather than FK20708CF6792111.  I know Oracle has a 30 char limit for constraint names, so there would have to me some logic to find a way to abbreviate it.
