No Hibernate implementation of ConnectionRepository and UsersConnectionRepository

[mirkoliver]

Summary

No Hibernate implementation of ConnectionRepository and UsersConnectionRepository

Actual Behavior

The only persisting implementations of ConnectionRepository and UsersConnectionRepository are JdbcConnectionRepository and JdbcUsersConnectionRepository. These use Spring's JDBCTemplate. Hibernate is not supported. Developers, who need a Hibernate implementation have to implement a custom one. This can lead to incompatibilities when upgrading to new Spring Social versions.

Expected Behavior

An implementation of these interfaces for Hibernate.

Version

Spring Social 2.0.0.M2

I wanted to take a shot at this one. Is it okay to add spring-data-commons and hibernate-jpa as dependencies?
