Hibernate and JDK 1.5

[john martin]

Does the current release of Hibernate support JDK 1.5 at all? The
documentation I can find seems to imply that only 1.4 is supported, but
it doesn't explicitly say so. It'd be nice to be able to use generics.

Has anyone tried the Hibernate 3 alpha? How stable is it? Does it have
JDK 1.5 support yet (the roadmap lists that as one of the planned features)?

Hibernate certainly *runs* on 1.5, and generics are no problem either
for the persistence mechanism itself. What's not going to work is specifying
parametrized types in the mapping files, and the tool that generates mapping
files from Java classes probably won't work either.

ok, thanks for the info.
