Building From Source

Starting in version 4.0, Hibernate now uses Gradle as its build system.  Instructions are kept as part of the source and can be viewed in mark up at the root Hibernate GitHub URL (scroll down below file/directory list). 

Previous versions of Hibernate used Maven as its build system.  See the wiki for legacy build instructions.

Continuous Integration Builds

Hibernate uses the Jenkins continuous integration/build server as provided by JBoss.org. 

Successful CI builds publish artifacts (jars) to the JBoss Snapshot Maven Repository.

Below is the RSS feed from its main CI job.  That job uses the Sun JDK for Linux; there is also a job using Open JDK named hibernate-core-master-openjdk

Database Matrix Testing

The main Hibernate CI builds are run using the H2 in-memory database.  Additionally, Hibernate is tested against a number of database in a continuous fashion. 

• DB2
• MySQL
• Oracle
• PostgreSQL
• SQLServer
• Sybase ASE
