Hey,

I've planned to look at Hibernate OGM as a side project but there are no plans 
for when it will happen.

Could you please explain what you mean by  ?

#1 " If not then I think wouldn't it be good to support them"
#2 "s every organization may not want to go for Spring-Data or want to migrate 
to Neo4J just because its more efficient than RDBMS"

for your second question:

Neo4j supports much richer domain models than relational databases. Putting a 
such domain model in a relational database would lead to sparse table with 
non-enforced foreign key constraints (optional properties and optional 
relationships)
So it is not likely that you would want to migrate your domain model 1:1 from a 
relational db to Neo4j.
Rather create your _real_ domain model and store that in Neo4j (lots of data 
and relationships from the real domain get dropped b/c they don't really fit in 
the more strict and limited rdbms schema).

That said, there is a SQL Loader tool written by Peter Neubauer, that _can_ be 
used to convert relational databases to neo4j.
