I have asked a number of times of this list for some simple samples to get going with Hibernate, but so far no one has taken a swing at it [I exclude PetStore because it adds in Spring as well, and is not simple to download and add in to an *existing* Cocoon installation without rebuilding].
Two points here:
Using Spring is meant to simplify your life WRT using Hibernate alone. No need to deal with resource management, exception handling and transactions. This alone is a big advantage, IMHO.
The above may be a matter of opinion, but your second point is factually incorrect. There are just three steps involved:
1. unzip the file 2. paste a bunch of lines into a file 3. run build.sh (or build.bat)
Can you really make it simpler? Well, we could distribute a binary version of the block, but the point of the sample is to show some best practices _in_source_code_, not to run a real online petstore.
