Hibernate Validator 6.2.2.Final, 7.0.3.Final and 8.0.0.Alpha1 released

Posted by    |       Hibernate Validator Releases

Hibernate Validator is the reference implementation for the Bean Validation specification. For more information, see Hibernate Validator on hibernate.org.

We released maintenance releases for our Hibernate Validator 6.2 and 7.0 branches.

Both versions bring back support for validating java.sql.Date which was broken when we refactored the time constraints.

7.0.3.Final also fixes an oversight in the annotation processor made when we migrated to the jakarta.* packages. Until this fix, the annotation processor for 7.0 was ignored, even if you properly used the jakarta.validation constraints.

We also released Hibernate Validator 8.0.0.Alpha1, which specifically targets the upcoming Jakarta EE 10.

Getting 6.2.2.Final

To get the release with Maven, Gradle etc. use the GAV coordinates org.hibernate.validator:{hibernate-validator|hibernate-validator-cdi|hibernate-validator-annotation-processor}:6.2.2.Final. Note that the group id has changed from org.hibernate (Hibernate Validator 5 and earlier) to org.hibernate.validator (from Hibernate Validator 6 onwards).

Alternatively, a distribution bundle containing all the bits is provided on SourceForge (TAR.GZ, ZIP).

Getting 7.0.3.Final

Hibernate Validator 7 targets Jakarta EE 9.

To get the release with Maven, Gradle etc. use the GAV coordinates org.hibernate.validator:{hibernate-validator|hibernate-validator-cdi|hibernate-validator-annotation-processor}:7.0.3.Final. Note that the group id has changed from org.hibernate (Hibernate Validator 5 and earlier) to org.hibernate.validator (from Hibernate Validator 6 onwards).

Alternatively, a distribution bundle containing all the bits is provided on SourceForge (TAR.GZ, ZIP).

Hibernate Validator 8 targets the upcoming Jakarta EE 10.

To get the release with Maven, Gradle etc. use the GAV coordinates org.hibernate.validator:{hibernate-validator|hibernate-validator-cdi|hibernate-validator-annotation-processor}:8.0.0.Alpha1.
