Great effort I'll be taking a look (and do a bit of testing) as soon as I have the time. Is there a timepath for Spring 2.1 (and probably some related projects as Spring Batch, Spring Security) or is that still TBD?

For now it's TBD since some of us are still recovering/getting back from JavaOne.
However, expect an update on this (through a blog/news) sometime soon... but don't quote me on this :D.

LOL recovering from JavaOne and going for SpringOne... Great...

I cannot quite you on this, to bad... I'll keep an eye (as always) on your blogs and this spot on the forum.

I just saw that spring 2.1M1 has hibernate 3.2.4 as dependency.
it looks that, and i just had the same problem, hibernate 3.2.4 has problems with native id generators. may be it is better to repackage it, for a while, with the 3.2.3 version. At least, i hope this can be useful for 2.1M1 testers.

Some people have all the fun :). I'll try dropping this into a couple of applications tomorrow and see how it goes.
