JPA is just the API; Hibernate implements JPA. :)

Thank you. These are exactly the sorts of comments I need to establish CONTEXT for all of these pieces.

Here you can generate a project and you can select what options you want in your starter.
That example is for JPA. I thought the "better" answer for a Java ORM was still Hibernate, and I can't find a Spring-based example for that. If you tell me that Hibernate has been usurped by JPA in Java developer mindshare, or if you tell me that JPA just works better with Spring, I can change course. I have no experience with either to make the call.
