body: <p>What would be the best solution for programmers like <a href="http://vimeo.com/28885655" rel="noreferrer">http://vimeo.com/28885655</a></p>
  
  <p>The people who created the video believe</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>In many cases hibernate is overkill</li>
  <li>Basic sql is a good language that hibernate abstracts away to much</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I heard about some other ORM implementations like </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><a href="https://github.com/rufiao/persist" rel="noreferrer">https://github.com/rufiao/persist</a></li>
  <li><a href="http://ormlite.com/" rel="noreferrer">http://ormlite.com/</a></li>
  <li><a href="http://www.simpleorm.org/" rel="noreferrer">http://www.simpleorm.org/</a></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I would like to hear how they compare and what are the advantages/disadvantages of each one.</p>
