Hibernate ORM 2026-04 summary: Consolidated the Hibernate Tools reveng module into the ORM and merged the related ant/gradle/maven tooling to unify ownership and reduce maintenance surface. This migration enables reveng capabilities to be delivered on the ORM release train with stronger integration, stability, and alignment with ORM APIs. Parallel work expanded test coverage and hardened the test infrastructure across reveng and related plugins, driving quality metrics and maintainability across the reveng domain.

2026-03 summary for hibernate/hibernate-orm: Delivered a unified Hibernate ORM Reverse Engineering (RevEng) integration and transformation tooling, consolidating reveng capabilities into the ORM core and aligning build tooling across Gradle, Maven, and Ant. Introduced transformHbm to convert legacy hbm.xml mappings to mapping.xml, deprecated legacy HBM generation tasks, and refreshed the platform BOM and dependency hosting for consistency across tools. Updated documentation and user guidance to reflect the unified RevEng workflow. Implemented incremental quality improvements to address SonarCloud blockers and code cleanliness.

December 2025 monthly summary: Delivered the Hibernate Mapping XML Exporter feature and integrated it into the hbm2orm workflow, supported by example/integration tests and enhanced Maven integration tests. Consolidated reveng tooling by moving the reveng module into Hibernate ORM and merging Ant/Gradle/Maven plugins (HHH-19879). No major bugs fixed this month; the focus was on feature delivery, test coverage, and build stability. This work reduces manual mapping effort, improves consistency across ORM mappings, and strengthens CI validation across build tools.

2025-11: Delivered integration of the Reverse Engineering module into Hibernate ORM, unifying build tooling across Ant tasks, Maven Mojos, and Gradle tasks under a single, well-tested reveng workflow. Implemented module introduction and tests, migrated tooling tests, and consolidated unit/integration tests to the ORM suite. This reduces tooling fragmentation, lowers maintenance overhead, and accelerates development cycles for Hibernate Tools users.

February 2025 monthly summary for hibernate/hibernate-orm focusing on test hygiene, reliability, and maintainability. The primary change was a targeted test cleanup in EntityGraphUsingFetchGraphTest to align tests with current functionality and reduce noise in the suite (HHH-13233). Implemented via commit b3ef2dec0fde0a4c4d239fa886fb1307887666a4, which removes the redundant fetchAttributeNodeByAttributeFromSubgraph test and references the removal of the previous commit (d8faee0d2c156e48a5d160385adeb51e49255c22).
