Lead Engineer at PAX Labs, we just open-sourced some Java utilities i wrote in the early days building service oriented architecture on dropwizard: https://github.com/PaxLabs/java-utils

A few things in there:

* `HibernateQuery` - wrapper around hibernate jpa implementation, because using the jpa criteria api is verbose as hell (seriously, even for java). Coming from having written Django, I wanted the ease of using Querysets in java

* Makemigrations - this seemed to be a missing hole in the java ecosystem. Our contractors were hand-writing sql migrations and using some framework that just ran them. Liquibase exists for managing migrations, hibernate can generate the schemas. This library is a dropwizard command to generate yml to migrate the old schema to the new one.

* generic pagination bundle
