Chapter 1. Setting up an annotations project

This release requires Hibernate Core 3.3 and above.

This release is known to work on Hibernate Core 3.3.2.GA.

Make sure you have JDK 5.0 installed or above. You can of course continue using XDoclet and get some of the benefits of annotation-based metadata with older JDK versions. Note that this document only describes JDK 5.0 annotations and you have to refer to the XDoclet documentation for more information.
