Maven Plugins for Eclipse

I've tried both q4e and m2eclipse pretty thoroughly at this point and I hereby declare m2eclipse the winner. My application is a multi-module project and q4e got terribly confused, m2eclipse handles this better. It's not perfect but way better than switching out to the shell to build, and a real time saver if you frequently work across multiple modules. Go get it now: http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/

Hibernate Redux

Hey big suprise, another long ignored hibernate bug (ok ok this one is only six months old), this time it is creating duplicate Foreign Keys (increasing the size of my DB, certainly not *helping* performance). At least there is a workaround. http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-3532

Has Hibernate Been Abandoned?

When I run into a serious defect like this one, and it hasn't been worked in almost a year, I have to wonder if anyone over at JBoss/RedHat works on Hibernate any more. Maybe they just decided to abandon it? Are there other similar big bugs that they seem to be studiously ignoring?
