How can I use Maven to get the latest Hibernate release?

JBoss have started synchronising their own repo with Maven central as posted on the JBoss community blog , therefore hibernate artifacts are now available without the need to add the JBoss repository to your pom.xml or repository manager.

To add the Hibernate Core 3.6.3 to your project, just add the following snippet to your pom:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
    <version>3.6.3.Final</version>
</dependency>
