Annotation support?

Hi,

I just noticed that Hibernate 3.0 went beta. I am looking forward to annotation support to remove the need for XDoclet. Does anyone have an idea when this feature is going to make it in?

Thanks,
Gili

Almost all EJB3 early draft annotations are already supported, but you have to get it from CVS, HibernateExt/metadata/. We'll release an alpha soon.

Christian,

Where do I read the annotation specification and/or some tutorials on how to use this? Can you point me in the right direction?

Thank you,
Gili

There is a (short) tutorial in the directory in CVS, just do a checkout and have a look.

Feedbacks welcome (both code and doc, even if the doc is in early alpha stage)

Hello,
I try set last metadata project in eclipse (3.1M4, linux) - eclipse return more error dialogs (internal AST error) when I open org.hibernate.test.metadata.manytomany.Man.java in editor

What is problem ?

ps.
metadata compile fine with ant

I know. Unfortunatly Eclipse is not *yet* Annotation compliant. I'm astonished, since this class is pretty simple.
You can use IDEA which works really well with annotations (I use it), or maybe netbeans 4 (haven't tested it).

AFAIK the latest 3.1. M4 should be able to handle annotations if you set the compiler to 1.5. compatibility....

Michael,
I have 3.1M4 and set 5.0 compatibility (there isn't 1.5 compatibilty) - I can't open Man.java,
Customer.java - eclipse return too many dialog with 'internal AST error)
Have you tried to open Man.java with 3.1M4 ?

Emmanuel
I haven't IDEA and netbeans haven't too good refactoring (netbeans 4.0 work with this files)

regards

Michael, snpesnpe is right, Eclise screw up on my samples, I did test that with Max last week.
PS I was sceptikal on a non free IDE (was an happy eclipse user). I'm now a happy IDEA user and unhappy eclipse one when I need to get back. IDEA really worth the 500 bucks. I think you can try it for 30 days for free

Anyone try it with Netbeans 4.0 yet?

I try netbenas.It work (I can openMan.java and Customer.java and compile complete hibernateExt(, but netbeans have another problems (refactoring, open type hierarchy ...)

Hi,

I tried this out with eclipse 3.1M4 and it works if you put the joinColumns before the inverseJoinColumns in Man.java

OK, I've updated my box, thanks.
Someone can report this bug to the Eclipse core team, it's still a bug in their grammar.

Customer.java,Sky.java doesn't work, too
