Thanks for the suggestions Steve. I got it working now but used a new project module, which I named "compatibility-testing". Ok to introduce that? It just has some tests using the (legacy) getFlushMode(), and dependencies setup as: dependencies { // [!] Compile with Hibernate ORM 5.1, but then run the tests with the current version testCompileOnly "org.hibernate:hibernate-core:5.1.12.Final" testCompileOnly "org.hibernate:hibernate-testing:5.1.12.Final" testRuntimeOnly project( ':hibernate-core' ) testRuntimeOnly project( ':hibernate-testing' ) } For some reason both Eclipse and IDEA get confused and the code shows as not compiling; it works fine via Gradle though so I'm afraid we'll just have to ignore the IDE warnings. I'll experiment a bit more with sourceSet to see if we can avoid that as it seems very inconvenient; Andrea will be with me this afternoon so maybe he can have a look too.
