Play! framework - ORM

Question

From the Play! framework docs:

There is no built-in JPA implementation in Play 2.0; you can choose any available implementation. For example, to use Hibernate, just add the dependency to your project:

What are my option rather than Hibernate?
What do you think is well-suited for a message-board website?
I understood Hibernate has a little overhead, is that right?

There is Ebean ORM built-in the Play 2.0 doesn't it meet your needs?

All you need to start working with it is just uncoment few lines in application.conf, check this description for MySQL: https://stackoverflow.com/a/10007515/1066240

does Ebean efficient (or high-performance) and easy to use? and does it stable and well-maintained? – socksocket Aug 06 '12 at 12:31
@socksocket: It's lightweight and efficient, it's much younger than Hibernate so it's hard to find many one-to-one comparisons, however I saw many posts that guys previously using Hibernate were enthusiastic about Ebean. You need to perform custom research, I was using it in few recent projects and hadn't any bigger problems. – biesior Aug 06 '12 at 12:35
@socksocket: Ach, and yes is definitely easy to use. Check the refference guide in PDF: http://www.avaje.org/ebean/documentation.html – biesior Aug 06 '12 at 12:38
