I'm new into Spring and Hibernate. I've got a Spring Boot project and I want to integrate Hibernate on my own. Spring Boot tries to configure Hibernate on it's own and I want to switch it off. My project is child of spring-boot-starter-parent
<parent>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
<version>1.2.5.RELEASE</version>
</parent>
<hibernate.version>4.3.11.Final</hibernate.version>. When you fundamentally don't like automagical configuration, don't choose a framework that aims to provide exactly that :)
