Support for Hibernate ORM 6.0 [SPR-17596]

[spring-projects-issues]

Juergen Hoeller opened SPR-17596 and commented

Hibernate ORM 6.0 alpha 1 was recently released (in December 2018). Let's introduce a org.springframework.orm.hibernate6 support package in the Spring Framework 5.2 timeframe, in parallel to our existing Hibernate ORM 5.x support.

At this point, it looks like Hibernate ORM 6.0 won't be final in time for our 5.2 GA timeframe in June. While we're going to make sure that Spring's JPA support works fine against Hibernate ORM 6.0 pre-releases, a dedicated org.springframework.orm.hibernate6 package is probably better off in our next feature release.
