Hi Kevin,
Cayenne JPA provider broadly covers the entire spec, but there are
lots of holes. There are big ones like the stuff related to enhancer,
which is _not_ a good place to start. There are a number of smaller
ones. One possible approach would be to continue writing the
integration tests, picking any spec chapter, and every time you
stumble on an unexpected behavior, investigate why a test fails, and
devise a fix.
Another approach that may turn to be the most productive on the long
run is to set you up to do the TCK testing. I am running the TCK now
locally. I can't share any details on the public list because of the
NDA, except that the process gives you a good sense of direction.
If you are interested to proceed with the TCK path, we'll need to
contact Geir to file your NDA. If not (or in the meantime while your
TCK access is processed), we can discuss specific areas that need help.
Thanks,
Andrus

Andrus,
I've finally gotten around to printing out a copy of the JPA spec.
Previously I had read the first chapter or so from the PDF, but I hate
reading 200 page documents on a screen, so I gave that up. What's a
good starting point for getting my feet wet with the JPA
implementation?
I see you have a lot of JIRAs indicating todo items, but is there
anything sort of master list of say everything in chapter 1 is done,
chapter 2 is partially completed, etc.?
Thanks,
Kevin
