What collection mapping should I use?
I think it’s fair to say that Jakarta Persistence has too many options for mapping collections and to-many associations. Way back when we wrote JPA 1.0, I argued against adding so many things, on the grounds that a lot of these options tend to lead users down the wrong path. But the things I wasn’t keen on were ultimately added in JPA 2.0, and I can’t really say this was a bad decision, since all these options are things users ask for.
That said, I’m going to begin by reiterating what I’ve said many times before:

Hibernate ORM 4.3.1.Final Release
I have just released 4.3.1.Final, the first bugfix release for Hibernate ORM 4.3. In addition to bug fixes, a few improvements of note include:
Hibernate ORM 4.3.0.Final Release
The Hibernate team is proud to announce the Hibernate ORM 4.3.0.Final Release. With this release, Hibernate is now a certified implementation of the JPA 2.1 specification. Certified awesomeness!
Hibernate ORM 4.3.0.CR2 Release
Hibernate ORM 4.3.0.CR1 Release
The Hibernate team is proud to announce the 4.3.0.CR1 release of Hibernate ORM. This is the first release candidate for 4.3 and JPA 2.1 support. For those who maybe are not familiar with our release methodology, this means that in 2-3 weeks this release will essentially be re-tagged as Final unless some critical bugs are reported with it in the meantime.
Hibernate ORM 4.3.0.Beta5 Release
Version 4.3.0.Beta5 release of the Hibernate ORM project has just been released. This is a step closer towards JPA 2.1 compliance, but also lots of other goodies. JPA 2.1 work of note includes:
Hibernate ORM 4.3.0.Beta4 release
Back to work after summer fun :)
Hibernate ORM 4.3.0.Beta3 Release
The Hibernate team is pleased to announce today's release of Hibernate 4.3.0.Beta3. Support for entity graphs is still a work in progress, but all other JPA 2.1 features should be fully operational. Specific JPA 2.1 features fully functional as of this release include:
Hibernate ORM 4.3.0.Beta2 Released
Hibernate ORM 4.3.0.Beta1 Release
The Hibernate team is pleased to announce today's release of Hibernate 4.3.0.Beta1 which targets the (still not finalized) JPA 2.1 specification which is part of the upcoming Java EE 7 platform. This is the first release targeting JPA 2.1 support. As mentioned, JPA 2.1 is not completely finalized so this support should be considered a preview. JPA 2.1 defines a number of enhancements. I won't go in depth in each of them here as I plan to follow up with separate in-depth blog posts for some of these features. However, the web abounds with good summaries of the new features; for example:
