hibernate3-maven-plugin dependencies for newer ver

Question

I would like to use hibernate-3.5-1.Final along with this plugin, what should be my dependencies here. It seems to be picking up a older set of jars and failing right now.

            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
                <artifactId>hibernate3-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>2.2</version>
            </plugin>

Answer 1

I had a similar issue.

After running "mvn dependency:tree", I saw that unitils-dbunit:3.1 depended on an older hibernate.jar...

[INFO] +- org.unitils:unitils-dbunit:jar:3.1:test
[INFO] |  +- org.unitils:unitils-core:jar:3.1:test
[INFO] |  |  +- commons-logging:commons-logging:jar:1.1:test
[INFO] |  |  +- commons-lang:commons-lang:jar:2.5:test (version managed from 2.3)
[INFO] |  |  \- ognl:ognl:jar:2.6.9:test
[INFO] |  +- org.unitils:unitils-database:jar:3.1:test
[INFO] |  |  +- org.unitils:unitils-dbmaintainer:jar:3.1:test
[INFO] |  |  |  \- org.hibernate:hibernate:jar:3.2.5.ga:test

Moving the Hibernate libs before the unitils dependency solved the problem. Order matters.

Good luck, J.

It's hard to say what is happening exactly but the fact is that the version 2.2. of hibernate3-maven-plugin declares hibernate-core 3.3.1.GA and hibernate-tools 3.2.3.GA as dependencies and is compiled against those versions. Did you try to replace them? If yes, I don't think you can (especially since they seem to introduce non compatible changes).

Having that said, this shouldn't prevent you from declaring hibernate-entitymanager-3.5.1-Final as dependency in your project and let the plugin use other versions (which should be the default behavior).

For Hibernate 3.6.0.Final I setup the plugin as follows:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate3-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.2</version>
    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>xerces</groupId>
            <artifactId>xercesImpl</artifactId>
            <version>2.9.1</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
            <artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
            <version>3.6.0.Final</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
            <artifactId>hibernate-entitymanager</artifactId>
            <version>3.6.0.Final</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
            <artifactId>hibernate-validator</artifactId>
            <version>4.1.0.Final</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.microsoft</groupId>
            <artifactId>sqljdbc4</artifactId>
            <version>3.0.1301</version>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
</plugin>

Answer 4

I was able to get this working with the following set of dependencies (i.e. 3.5.1-Final for all hibernate jars)

                <dependencies>
                    <dependency>
                        <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
                        <artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
                        <version>${hibernate-core.version}</version>
                    </dependency>

                    <dependency>
                        <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
                        <artifactId>hibernate-entitymanager</artifactId>
                        <version>${hibernate-entitymanager.version}</version>
                    </dependency>

                    <dependency>
                        <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
                        <artifactId>hibernate-annotations</artifactId>
                        <version>${hibernate-annotations.version}</version>
                    </dependency>

                    <dependency>
                        <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
                        <artifactId>ejb3-persistence</artifactId>
                        <version>3.3.2.Beta1</version>
                    </dependency>

                    <dependency>
                        <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
                        <artifactId>hibernate-tools</artifactId>
                        <version>${hibernate-tools.version}</version>
                    </dependency>
                </dependencies>

Answer 5

This solution is the best for me. Just add one dependency, and it will add the rest of necesary dependencies:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate-entitymanager</artifactId>
    <version>4.2.1.Final</version>
</dependency>
