Hi,

Has anyone gotten the latest Hibernate3 + annotations to build properly? I got hibernate3 to build but HibernateExt's build dies after a few seconds with "Could not find ${jdk15.home}. jdk15.home must point to a JDK 1.5 directory".

I tried setting this variable and playing around with build.properties but it did not help. Did anyone know how to fix this?

Also, I'm still trying to understand whether next week's Hibernate3 release will contain annotation support or if the two will remain separate releases. I'm trying to get *any* recent version of Hibernate3 to work with the annotations. Any advice you could offer would be most welcome.

Thank you,
Gili

just put a build.properties in common with jdk15.home=<path to jdk>

and it should work.

I will assume metadata will be a separate download.

I don't know if this is some sort of bug in Ant under WinXP but <available file="<path to JDK>" type="dir"> *always* fails even if the path exists. I tried varying filename casing, slashes, paths with or without spaces, etc but it always fails. I take that same path that Ant claims does not exist, copy/paste it and it opens up properly in explorer or in "dir".

Does this sound familiar to anyone?

remember its an java properties file so you need to escape stuff like \ and whitespaces

It does work on my XP box.
Annotations are a separate package from the hibernate core and a new product, it'll need more time to get final.
