Hibernate 2.0
Hibernate 2.0 was released today:« Hibernate is a powerful, ultra-high performance object/relational persistence and query service for Java. Hibernate lets you develop persistent objects following common Java idiom - including association, inheritance, polymorphism, composition and the Java collections framework.

Hibernate is now the most popular ORM solution for Java. »
