What happened to Hibernate.org? I get redirected to jboss.org and then once on that site I can not find it. Does this mean that hibernate is no longer an independent project - it is now a component of jboss.

A:
It has always been part of JBoss. They were the ones that created Hibernate.
Now, if you are looking for NHIBERNATE, that's a completely different product and URL.
Here is the WIKI entry, and here is the sourceforge download site.

http://www.nhibernate.org/ also seems to be down. http://nhforge.org/ works though.

hibernate has always been associated with JBoss, but it has also always had its own site and distro. It seems that there is a major shift going on. hibernate.org used to be its own site, but now it redirects to the jboss.org site.

@Andy: Yes, correct. But it has been a JBoss' project for a long time now, since if I recall correctly, it was JBoss who hired Hibernate's lead developer.

Well, it's an open source project so it doesn't "belong" to JBoss, but they certainly seem to be the major (only?) sponsor for the project. Personally, I think it just annoying that they just redirected to jboss.org instead of a "hey we're changing things" page.

This is what I had expected, but I have not been able to find it on the jboss.org site

A:
http://www.jboss.com/products/hibernate/
On the Products menu, it's "JBoss Hibernate".
But you're right--old links to documentation are broken, e.g. http://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/v3/api/org/hibernate/context/ThreadLocalSessionContext.html
takes you to a generic jboss.org top level page. Hopefully they'll fix it.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/hibernate works as well.

Looks like they might be fixing it now. I just checked hibernate.org again, and they have a maintenance image up now. whew
