Sounds like a bug in hibernate-annotations, no? It doesn't look like this JAR is in the central Maven repo, nor does hibernate-annotations contain a dependency on it.
Below are the versions of Hibernate we're currently using in AppFuse: <hibernate.version>3.2.5.ga</hibernate.version> <hibernate.annotations.version>3.2.1.ga</hibernate.annotations.version> <hibernate.entitymanager.version>3.2.1.ga</hibernate.entitymanager.version> Why did you see the need to upgrade to 3.3.0.ga for hibernate-annotations?
