hibernate-orm/tooling/hibernate-gradle-plugin

= Hibernate ORM Gradle Plugin

A Gradle plugin for introducing Hibernate tasks and capabilities into a build.


== Set up

[source,groovy]
----
plugins {
  id 'org.hibernate.orm'
}

// HibernateOrmSpec
hibernate {
    ...
}
----


== DSL

The `hibernate` DSL extension is the main entry into configuring the plugin

[source,groovy]
----
hibernate {
}
----

It defines configuration options:

useSameVersion:: Specifies whether to have the plugin inject an `implementation` dependency on `hibernate-core`, implicitly using
    the same version as the plugin.  The default is true.  If you'd prefer to use a different version, set this to false and define
    the dependency on `hibernate-core` as you normally would.
sourceSet:: The source-set containing the project's domain model.  Only one source-set is supported, although all languages (Java, Kotlin, etc)
    within that source-set are considered.

It additionally defines 3 nested DSL extensions related to:

* <<enhance>>
* <<jpa-metamodel>>
* <<hbm-xml>>


[[enhance]]
== Bytecode Enhancement

The plugin can perform build-time enhancement of the domain classes.  This is controlled
by the `enhancement` portion of the `hibernate` DSL extension.

To enable enhancement, reference the DSL extension:

[source,groovy]
----
hibernate {
    enhancement
}
----

Enhancement has a few options to control what enhancements take place.  All the options default to `false`:

[source,groovy]
----
hibernate {
  enhancement {
    lazyInitialization = true
    dirtyTracking = true
    associationManagement = true
    extendedEnhancement = false
  }
}
----


[[jpa-metamodel]]
== JPA Static Metamodel generation

The plugin can also generate the JPA static metamodel classes based on the application's domain model.  To enable
the generation, simply refer to the DSL extension:

[source,groovy]
----
hibernate {
    jpaMetamodel
}
----

The generation accepts a number of options:

[source,groovy]
----
hibernate {
    jpaMetamodel {
        // directory where the generated metamodel source files should be written
        //      - defaults to `${buildDir}/generated/sources/jpaMetamodel
        generationOutputDirectory = "some/other/dir"

        // directory where the compiled generated metamodel classes should be written
        //      - defaults to `${buildDir}/classes/java/jpaMetamodel
        compileOutputDirectory = "special/classes/dir"

        // should the `jakarta.annotation.Generated` annotation be applied?
        //      - defaults to true
        applyGeneratedAnnotation = true

        // error suppressions to be added to the generated source files
        //      - default is ["raw", "deprecation"]
        suppressions = ...
    }
}
----


[[hbm-xml]]
== Legacy `hbm.xml` Transformation
