Thanks for the suggestions Steve. I got it working now but used a new
project module, which I named "compatibility-testing".
Ok to introduce that?

It just has some tests using the (legacy) getFlushMode(), and
dependencies setup as:

dependencies {
    // [!] Compile with Hibernate ORM 5.1, but then run the tests with
the current version
    testCompileOnly "org.hibernate:hibernate-core:5.1.12.Final"
    testCompileOnly "org.hibernate:hibernate-testing:5.1.12.Final"
    testRuntimeOnly project( ':hibernate-core' )
    testRuntimeOnly project( ':hibernate-testing' )
}

For some reason both Eclipse and IDEA get confused and the code shows
as not compiling; it works fine via Gradle though so I'm afraid we'll
just have to ignore the IDE warnings.
I'll experiment a bit more with sourceSet to see if we can avoid that
as it seems very inconvenient; Andrea will be with me this afternoon
so maybe he can have a look too.

Thanks,
Sanne
