Hibernate version: 2.1.6

Can hibernate 2.1.6 and > be changed to use LinkedMap from apache commons instead of LinkedHashMap if LinkedHashMap is not available. Please let me know if this is possible and if so when would I see it in 2.1.7?

Thanks,
Garry

Ask that through JIRA, but we're not big fans of Commons stuffs.
You can even provide a patch, shouldn't be that hard I guess

there is already a request for this, you can vote for it if you like ... but I am also extremely loathe to get extra dependencies to commons stuff, it has always been a mistake in the past

I provided a patch in JIRA. The patch works in such a way that it doesn't depend on commons until runtime. If LinkedHashMap exists it uses that otherwise if LinkedMap exists it uses that etc.... This is the way they implemented it for Spring.
