Hibernate is definitely solving the same type of problem as Castor
JDO. But Hibernate uses the LGPL whereas Castor uses a derivation
of the BSD license. IMNSHO, there is a significant difference between
these two licenses. In addition, there is NO other open source O/R
mapping tool out there that includes anything like Castor XML. Not
only is Castor XML used internally Castor JDO, but Castor XML is
it's own subproject in it's own rite. I'm sure that I could go on
and on here, but these are two very big differences between Hibernate
and Castor JDO.
I'm very happy to see that Hibernate has been so successful. I've
even hung out with Gavin King and he's a very nice guy. I think
that compeitition is a very good thing.
