Tried to upgrade to CR3, since I am doing JPA stuff. It's not in the public maven repo yet, so I installed it in my local one. It's throwing an exception about not having a class:

org.hibernate.loader.custom.SQLQueryResult

It looks like this is being called from the annotations code. It seems that the annotations code has not been updated. I tried commenting out the declarations for the annotations and entity manager in the pom, thinking that maybe I can just have one entry for Hibernate and it has those inside now, but that doesn't seem to work either.

HibCore CR3 just came out, and they haven't released updated Annotations or Entity code bases yet to work with CR3. It should happen soon, just hold off using CR3 until the other projects catch up.

You'll have to use Hibernate Annotations and Hibernate EntityManager from the SVN to work with Hibernate core CR3. I'll eventually release them but I want to push more bugfixes and features before. SVN head is fully safe and stable unless you are using Hibernate Lucene (ie the Lucene integration).
