It seams I have different version of the Hibernate Tools. In one environment I use for @Cascade(CascadeType.DELETE_ORPHAN) and it says it's deprecated.

In another (supposetly) the newest one, it says nothing. So which is it?

Is the newest one not deprecated anymore? And if so why would someone mark something as deprecated and have developers use something else instead and then for a later release move it all to back again?!
I can't think of anything more annoying than having to rewrite my code just because the creator couldn't make up his mind!

This does not seem to have anything to do with tools.

And since you dont say which versions you reference it's hard to comment on.
