:fn-reusability: footnote:[This is a nice-to-have, as opposed to a hard goal] == Boot models

A work-in-progress look at a more phased approach to how Hibernate reads annotation and XML based mapping information. Specifically here we are looking at the process used to build the org.hibernate.mapping model - the so-called boot model.

See https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-16114[HHH-16114] for details and discussion.

There are a few inter-related goals for this work -

1. More phased approach compared to the current "second pass" approach
2. Replace HCANN with Jandex for low-level annotation reading
3. Extended orm.xml support (drop hbm.xml)
4. Better leverage of "temp class loader"
5. Re-usability across projects{fn-reusability}

=== The modules

hibernate-models-common:: Common stuff - duh hibernate-models-source:: An abstraction over reflection and annotation hibernate-models-intermediate:: First set of phases to categorize a domain model - 1. Simple categorization of entity v. embeddable v. “simple” class 2. Light categorization of attributes 3. Application of XML via JAXB - overlay and override 4. Normalization of values

Definitely need a better name for hibernate-models-intermediate
