@Table

//
}

Bit of thread necromancy here...

It still doesn't look like there's a good way to do what you want. If you don't want to use Spring, here's a similar method using Reflections:

// Create your SessionFactory with mappings for every `Entity` in a specific package
Configuration configuration = new Configuration();
configuration.configure("your_hibernate.cfg.xml");

Reflections reflections = new Reflections("your_package");

Set> classes = reflections.getTypesAnnotatedWith(javax.persistence.Entity.class);

for(Class clazz : classes)
{
    configuration.addAnnotatedClass(clazz);
}

ServiceRegistry serviceRegistry = new StandardServiceRegistryBuilder().applySettings(configuration.getProperties()).build();
SessionFactory sessionFactory = configuration.buildSessionFactory(serviceRegistry);

The same approach is probably viable for other Java reflection libraries.
