Hi Hugh, Thanks for your concern, however Castor JDO *IS* being maintained. Bruce Synder, the current Castor JDO lead, along with others, such as Micka�l Guessant, are handling the maintenance, bug fixes, development of Castor JDO.
Keep in mind that the work done on Castor is on a volunteer basis. Some volunteers will have more time to spend then others, but I can assure that there are people who are generously contributing to and maintaining Castor JDO. As far as where our efforts are focused, my efforts are focused, and always have been, almost entirely on Castor XML, because that's where my interests are and the fact that I primarily deal with XML in my daily job. But... there are people whose efforts are focused entirely on Castor JDO. Due to the differences in the amount of time that people can contribute to the project, Castor XML and Castor JDO will see un-even amounts of growth. Just because one side of the project has more activity than the other, doesn't mean that the other side isn't being worked on.
