Sorry for the cross-post, but I wanted to hit both groups.

I know the folks on the Hibernate team put up with a lot of crap from us users. Lots of complaints about bugs, lack of functionality, misunderstandings, and general grumblings. Some are unfounded, others are not. I only really bitch when a Hibernate team member seems condescending or "bothered". Nonetheless, I'm sure it always seems like a battle against negativity and non-appreciation to work on the Hibernate codebase and try to support the community.

I wanted to take the time to offer a sincere THANK YOU and GOOD WORK so far on the integration of JSR220 and the Hibernate Tools. It is all shaping up nicely, and will be a wonderful step forward.

The refactorings in Annotations and Tools have pushed me over the kiss-ass edge, especially when either of the following...

Code:
   // OLD
   @Column(name="priority",nullable=false,columnDefinition="priority TINYINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL")
   private int mPriority ;

  // NEW   (Yay!)
   @Column(name="priority",nullable=false,columnDefinition="TINYINT UNSIGNED")
   private int mPriority ;


produce the same create table wonderfulness...

Code:
   priority TINYINT UNSIGNED not null


So, to everyone who works on the Hibernate codebase, please remember that we wouldn't be here if we didn't appreciate you, and thanks. These little things make my life much easier and concise.







Now answer my other questions, you bastards! j/k
