Can't speak for Aaron, but I guess this is not so much the code
referencing provider-specific API, but configuration including
provider jars... ant testing that it works of course :-)

We're working on a plugin that adds JPA support to web apps (assuming
you started Geronimo in Java 5). If you can help with the OpenJPA
provider, that would be great. I think there should be something to
show for this soon. I'm eagerly awating Jason's fix to the
car-maven-plugin so we can pop a plugin out of a Maven build. :)
What approach are you taking to get this done? I was thinking to
do App-managed EntityManagers, the EntityManagerFactories looked up
through JNDI, and available to both web apps and ejbs.
You make a note about working on an OpenJPA provider, which makes
me wonder. The way a JPA provider is plugged in is standard, so
you shouldn't need to write support for a particular provider. Any
details on why that would be required in the code you're working on?
Regardless, I'm glad I'm not the only one working on this :)
