Why is hibernate-java8 (hibernate 5.x) jar shown deprecated?
<p>Hibernate 5 and above supports Java8 DateTime Api through jar "hibernate-java8".<br>But the MavenRepository shows a message Deprecated - use hibernate-core instead) alongside the title of the hibernate-java8 jar.<br><br>Why is the hibernate-java8 jar called deprecated even though it is required to gain the hibernate support for java8?<br><br>
