Version Mismatch..
call me AR put it seems WRONG for a plugin-version to be so disconnected from
core..how would a build engineer know this version disconnect applies *only* to
RH packages
There is no java reason why all dependencies have to be at the same version.
We use lots of third party libraries that have versions different from
our code.
Why would you change the release version on dozens on libraries that
have not changed?
A minor bug fix in a couple of modules that does not affect the core or
API, should not require the release of 50+ modules that have not changed.
We started out doing these useless version changes but it was just a
waste of time.
Once we had 50+ modules in our package it just ate up too much time
(changing, rebuild, retest, redeploy) for zero benefit.
"Jboss repos RH doesnt want the scrunity of having other developers go
thru their code and find their mistakes IMHO"
This is just a silly comment.
Their repo is as accessible as the Maven repo.

1)why the version disconnect?
Many people do not change the version of things that don`t change. If
the core was not modified to support hibernate-annotations 3.3.0-ga,
then the older version is the right version to use.
Perhaps they do not expect anyone using Hibernate to have any direct
dependency on the core, so they only change the versions on the
artifacts to which users refer directly(hibernate-annotations in your case).
2)if the hibernate plugins are blessed why do they only reside on jboss repos?
There is no obligation for you or anyone else to put your stuff on a
public Maven Repo.
Redhat chooses to use their own.
I have no Idea why Redhat wants to do it this way but perhaps it gives
them a better idea about how many people are using Hibernate and better
statistics about which version they are downloading.
It only costs them a bit of bandwidth since most people will only
download it once into their corporate repo
For us it is not a problem since we are running Nexus ourselves and once
I add the RedHat repo to my Nexus configuration, the whole team has
access to Hibernate without any fuss.
Oracle/Sun has an even more restrictive and less convenient way to make
their libraries available.
