Using DBDeploy in Gradle with hibernate as the ORM

Question

I am looking to use a versioned database migrations tool like DBdeploy in a java project which uses Hibernate as the ORM and uses Gradle as the build system. I am unable to lookup any documentation on running DBDeploy on Gradle. Also is there a Hibernate based migrations manager, which can understand schema changes by looking at changes in Hibernate classes/definitions?

Both the answers below are part answers to my question. Pity I cannot choose both as correct answers. — Ritesh M Nayak, Mar 20 '11 at 10:23

Since dbdeploy has an Ant task, it should be straightforward to use from Gradle. See Using Ant Tasks in the Gradle User Guide.

Almost any build system can likely call either the ant task or the command-line interface for dbdeploy.

Also is there a Hibernate based migrations manager, which can understand schema changes by looking at changes in Hibernate classes/definitions?

You might want to look at Liquibase. I haven't actually used it (I've used dbdeploy), but it has hibernate integration that looks like what you want.
