Documentation (preview) about the[ issue:|https://doc-stage.usersys.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/jboss_enterprise_application_platform_continuous_delivery/14/html-single/migration_guide/#migrating_from_hibernate_5_1_to_5_3

An abstract (yet working) Hibernate 5.3 PoC rule may be found at https://github.com/emmartins/windup-rulesets/blob/WINDUPRULE-372/rules-reviewed/eap7/eap71/hibernate51-53.windup.xml , which should be broken into multiple rules targeting each concrete Hibernate 5.3 migration issue at https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-orm/blob/5.3/migration-guide.adoc

Note the example rule reference above should have the EAP Traget set to
<targetTechnology id="eap" versionRange="[7,8)" />

5.2 migration notes: "The hibernate-java8 module has been merged into hibernate-core and the Java 8 date/time types are now natively supported."

Windup rule:

When: reference to hibernate-java8 module (e.g., in a pom.xml?) is found
Perform: change reference to hibernate-java8 to hibernate-core (since hibernate-java8 has been merged into hibernate-core module); may be omitted if hibernate-core is already referenced (which it probably will be?).
