I use hibernate for database independence wrt blob/clob handling and identifier generation (major differences between databases here). The hibernate use is minimal, and I would be open to using something that is apache license conformant (suggestions?) However, this might be a moot point based on pei's email.
Regarding weka - this is only used for exporting data in the sparse weka format - not a critical dependency. However, I think we could provide the compiled binaries, but not ship weka (the user will have to have weka installed and add that to the classpath). -vj On Thu, Oct 3, 2013 at 10:32 AM, Wu, Stephen T., Ph.D. <[email protected]> wrote: > This sounds wonderful, Vijay! > But yes, there will probably be an issue with Hibernate and Weka.
