Hibernate using JPA (annotated Entities) and liquibase

Question

liquibase is a perfect alternative to hibernate's hbm2ddl_auto property if you are using xml-mapping. But Im using JPA annotation (hibernate annotations). Is it possible to use liquibase then?

Answer 1

Yes, LiquiBase uses hibernate's metadata classes, which are the same whether you use xml mappings or annotations. You do need a hibernate config file to point liquibase to, but your mappings can be xml or jpa annotations.
