I started playing around with Hibernate Search this weekend by following the getting started guide.

Being a maven user, I attempted to use the JBoss published artifacts (from the JBoss repository) to make live a bit easier.

UPDATE: Emmanuel Bernard has commented and pointed out that the updated artifacts have actually been published.

It looks like the Getting Started Guide is referencing slightly incorrect artifact versions.

<dependency>
   <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
   <artifactId>hibernate-search</artifactId>
   <version>3.0.0.GA</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
   <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
   <artifactId>hibernate-annotations</artifactId>
   <version>3.3.0.ga</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
   <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
   <artifactId>hibernate-entitymanager</artifactId>
   <version>3.3.2.GA</version>
</dependency>

Seem to work a little bit better. It looks like there’s only a newer version of the hibernate-entitymanager available and that the hibernate-search artifact has been published with a version of 3.0.0.GA and not 3.0.0.ga.

In the end, not that big of a deal. Just need to do a bit more digging to locate the correctly labeled artifacts.

Thanks Emmanuel for the comment.

    Thanks Emmanuel for the response.

    I stand corrected, the problem was actually due to the version of the dependencies listed in the Getting Started Guide being slightly incorrect.

    3.0.0.ga does not resolve the same as 3.0.0.GA.

    I’ll update the original post to reflect the updated information.

    Thanks again.
