Question

Whenever i add dependency like below, maven also adds hibernate-entitymanager-4.3.10.jar, hibernate-core-4.3.10.jar...

        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-jpa</artifactId>
    </dependency>

Isn't Spring-DATA and Hibernate are different JPA impls?

Answer 1

The spring-boot-starter-data-jpa POM dependency pulls in several JPA depedencies, including Hibernate. From the official Spring documentation:

The spring-boot-starter-data-jpa POM provides a quick way to get started. It provides the following key dependencies:

Hibernate — One of the most popular JPA implementations.
Spring Data JPA — Makes it easy to implement JPA-based repositories.
Spring ORMs — Core ORM support from the Spring Framework.

So the Spring data JPA JAR was intended to be one way to pull the Hibernate dependencies into your project.

Answer 2

According to the spring-boot-stater-data-jpa it's have compile dependencies of hibernate-entitymanager-4.3.10.jar

And hibernate-entitymanager-4.3.10 have compile dependencies of hibernate-core-4.3.10.jar and other hiberante dependencies That's why maven Add hibernate jars
