Hibernate Annotations for production use

Hi!
Since the current version of hibernate Annotations is 3.1 beta 6, could I use this in production?

Or should I stick with core hibernate, and wait until a stable version of Hibernate Annotations is released?

Regards
Emil

We are currently using HA3.7beta with H3rc3 in production portal app and it is running nicely.
It depends on what kind of app you are doing. Our is not life dependent. :-)
And since all is open source, if you find bugz, you can contribute.

I would like to contribute if I find a bug, but it's not that simple.

I am planning an "introduction to hibernate" for the other developers at my company, and i don´t think they will be to happy with an unstable framework. I want to convince them of the convenience of hibernate, but I think they will by sceptical if it's buggy.

So I´m wondering if I should show them Hibernate Annotations, which is so simple to use that everyone will love it, or if I should skip the annotations part.

Use the annotations.
If you have trouble using them you can simply go back to plain .hmb.xml files - which have been through a lot of testing and production use.

But Emmanuel is doing a great job to provide you with up to date HA project. So I think you will really like the HA.
