The first Hibernate 3 beta has been released. Hibernate 3.0 beta 1 includes many new features and bug fixes. Most importantly, it introduces a brand new HQL implementation, based upon an ANTLR parser written by Joshua Davis. Hibernate3 final is due in Q1, 2005.

Gavin's Hibernate 3 beta announcement

Try out the beta here. A list of changes can be found in the road map, we are working on documentation updates. Hibernate3 is now stable enough for development use.

it seems that the 1st quarter 2005 will b the quarter of java ORM as we 'll have Hibernate3 and JDO2

Is there any plan for Hibernate 3 to support JDK 5 annotations? If not is there any plan to update XDoclet's Hibernate module to support Hibernate 3?

Thanks for a great work!

Last week during JavaPolis Gavin King confirmed and showed some examples using JDK5 annotations. Some annotations were not yet supported but that will only be a matter of time...

Hi Dominik,

on Javapolis last week, Gavin and Christian have presented some new Hibernate 3 features including EJB3 annotations, which are based on JDK 5 annotations...

Yes! We now support most of the annotations of EJB3 and will do an alpha release pretty soon. You can already take it from CVS (grab HibernateExt and then go to the metadata subproject), since I will mostly do minor stuffs and some packaging before the release.
Feedbacks are very welcome :-)

Cool. Will the metadata be solely EJB3-based annotations, or have you implemented any Hibernate specific annotations as well?

Not yet, the primary goal is to be EJB3 compliant because EJB3 are the common needs of a project. But we'll add hibernate annotations to extends the features.

Hi,

Any idea when the production version will be released? I am trying to push for Hibernate 3 acceptance in my project and would like to know if the times will be in sync.

Many thanks.
