An ANT user on the forums got in trouble several times, first with Lucene versions vs Hibernate Search, then fixed that he upgraded ORM to 5 as well to align with Search 5 only to see Validator blow up at bootstrap.
https://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1039286 I'm thinking if we should invest a little time in developing a way to detect a non-compatible version on classpath. We obviously can't make that perfect as projects can't know the future, but we could get a decent error message for the most common mistakes, for example major versions. What about the Hibernate ORM 'Integrator' mechanism to have a way to define for example: - expected ranges of ORM which *should* work (based on our major.minor conventions) - expected versions which definitely work (being tested and released with) - some kind of blacklist capability to list specific versions (or ranges) which are known to definitely not work This could be for example an annotation we use on our Integrator implementations? Not aiming at a perfect solution of course - but it's better than nothing. The open question is if this is worth our time, but maybe it's an easy improvement? -- Sanne On 29 April 2015 at 13:00, Emmanuel Bernard <emman...@hibernate.org> wrote: > Yes I think a 5.x supporting ORM 5 would be my preference.
