Hi.

The package prefix changed from "net.sf.hibernate.*"
in Hibernate 2.x to "org.hibernate.*" in Hibernate 3.

Obviously this will break source compatibility.

So my question is: what's the reason for this?

What is the expectation of the Hibernate team
for third party tools like Spring or Eclipse
Plugins? Do you assume that they will follow
the package change and should they do it in a "dual"
way, e.g. combined support for Hibernate 2 and 3?

We would like to use Spring with Hibernate 3 so we
would be willing to add Hibernate 3 support to Spring,
but I want to be sure that the package renaming will
stay before we start.

Sure it will. It allows users to use both versions at the same time, which is much better for migration. The source will not be fully compatible anyway, since we plan some minor API changes.
