[Hibernate] Any timeframe for the resolution of ANN-1 (Map annotations support)

[Sylvain Vieujot]

Hello,

We have moved a project that was hibernate+xdoclet based to hibernate annotations.
We're pretty happy with it except that hibernate annotations still doesn't support maps of non-entities (bug ANN-1).

When we started the migration we were quite confident it would be solved by now as it was marked to be solved in beta9.
But now we start to be afraid this continues to slip and puts us in trouble.

So, is there any fore-casted time-frame for this bug to be resolved ?
Can we help in some way ?
Is there a simple workaround that would be compatible with the standard hibernate mapping on the database side ?

Thanks,

Sylvain,
