Annotations missing in RI

I checked out trunk. However, it looks like annotations like @Min, @Max, @Range etc. are still missing in RI. Do you have a coarse estimation when they will be available (Oct, Nov, Dec)?

You mean the minimal set of annotations that will make it in the spec?
I think I mainly nailed them down but I need to define them in the spec before pushing them in the RI. When is a good question. If things go extremely well, it will be done this week. Otherwise, that will wait till after my vacations in two weeks.

- @Null / @NotNull
- @AssertFalse / @AssertTrue
- @Digits(integerDigits, fractionalDigits)
- @Past / @Future
- @Min / @Max (Numbers)
- @Size (String, Collection, Arrays)
- maybe @Pattern but more likely something simpler like @Like, @AlphaNumeric
- possibly @Email / @URL: while not primitive, they will be standardized in HTML 5 (WebForm 2.0)

Looking at http://anonhibernate.labs.jboss.com/val ... onstraints I don't see any of these annotations:
* @Like, @AlphaNumeric, @Pattern
* @Email, @URL

Well it's because I am not sure they should go in the spec. What do you think?

Well, my preferences regarding our apps are

1) The spec must cover @Email and @Like (or even better: @Pattern)

2) @URL and @Alphanumeric are goodies.

I have created a separated post. See http://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.ph ... 04#2403004
