I'm looking for easy-to-use graph DB + ORM solution. The requirements are:

  1. Fluent Java interfaces, no need to use any XMLs.
  2. Ease of graph traversal: "give me all entities of these types, starting from this one, traverse only using this set of relation types".
  3. Full text search out of the box: p.2 + "only consider entities where this field contains this text"
  4. No need to operate on graph level: Neo4j is great, but I'd like to avoid working with setProperty/getProperty directly.

I've already checked these:

  1. ogrm - not supported anymore.
  2. jo4neo - looks like doesn't work p.2 and p.3
  3. Spring Data Graph - seems to be great things, but it's too immature - spent a week trying to make it work fine in Eclipse - no success.

Are there any other similar tools I need to check?

Spring Data Graph is the most actively developed, with a recently released version 1.1.0 and lots of work planned before SpringOne in October.

However, it does create a challenge for IDEs because of the AspectJ enhanced POJOs. Have a look at the documentation for some help getting that going.

Cheers, Andreas

As of January 2015, Hibernate has started supporting neo4j:

http://hibernate.org/ogm/

Obviously, you can't query using hql, but they support using Cypher queries.

There is also the very new spring-data-gremlin which does everything of what you want with the power of spring-data.

It also allows native queries, spatial indexes and a bunch of other cool stuff.

Note: It is quite immature, but still worth a look.
