Hibernate Envers is a core module of Hibernate.
Envers provides simple entity auditing and change tracking by using Java annotations to influence what it to be tracked by the change management listeners. The module allows you to save historical changes (CRUD operations) made on your persistent entities in audit specific tables that are created by Envers automatically.

To take advantage of Hibernate Envers, you first need to add the dependency. You simply need to configure the dependency as follows:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate-envers</artifactId>
<version>5.2.8.Final</version>
</dependency>
It's important to remember that the version of Envers you should use must match the same version of Hibernate that your application is using.
A Simple Example

}
