Question

Play frameworks comes with an old Hibernate version (3.6.1). How can I update Hibernate in my Play application? Via Ivy?

Following Pere’s advice I tried:

require:
    - play
    - org.hibernate -> hibernate-core 3.6.8 force: true

repositories:
    - jboss:
        type: http
        root: "http://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public/"
        contains:
            - org.jboss -> *
            - org.jboss.javaee -> *
            - org.hibernate -> *

But nothing happens. When I’m looking at the Ivy cache directory Hibernate 3.6.8 isn’t there and it seems like nothing happens at all.

Thanks to Pere Villegas answer I found the solution to update Hibernate delivered with Play:

require:
    - play
    - org.hibernate -> hibernate-core 3.6.9.Final:
        force: true
    - org.hibernate -> hibernate-validator 4.2.0.Final

repositories:
    - jboss:
        type: iBiblio
        root: "https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public"
        contains:
            - org.jboss -> *
            - org.jboss.javaee -> *
            - org.hibernate -> *
