[Springframework-developer] Hibernate3 in sandbox

[Artur K. <kar...@as...>]

All,

I read discussion about support for Hibernate3 (HB3 for short) last few
weeks, here, on dev list. I totally agree that we can wait for official
support of HB3 in spring till 1.2-rc versions. I wonder, though, if it is
possible to import 'preliminary' support for HB3 into sandbox tree. Since I
created JIRA
(http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/spring/browse/SPR-300) regarding
HB3 support and did some work integrating HB alpha release and spring I got
*a lot* of feedback. I thing people are more and more interested in support
for HB3 in spring, even in sandbox. Currently there are few versions of
patches available in SPR-300 - and it becomes harder and harder to maintain
it.  It would be nice to add support for HB3 beta in sandbox, so people
could just checkout it from CVS compile and use, and it would be much
easier to keep it in sync with rest of springframework. What about that? 
HB3 stable will be released in 2 weeks (HB3 developers plan to release
official stable HB3 release on JBoss World, March 1 AFAIK).
