I recently finished my graduation project - EagerORM, a lightweight ORM framework positioned somewhere between Hibernate and jOOQ.

The idea was to explore a simpler, more transparent ORM design while still keeping annotation-based entity mapping and relationships. It supports basic CRUD, explicit relation loading, dialect-aware query generation even for more complex SELECT queries, and transaction scoping .

It’s published on Maven Central and fully open source if anyone wants to take a look or try it out: https://github.com/SavkoDinamitas/EagerORM

Would appreciate any feedback
