Apache Cayenne is a Java persistence framework. It takes a distinct approach to object persistence and provides an ORM runtime, remote persistence services, and a GUI mapping/modeling tool.
### Project Status * Cayenne 3.1 Final was released on September 29. * Active 3.2 release branch was renamed to 4.0 to reflect a significant scope of changes. * 4.0 development has been very active. We added a new fluent query APIs, and a new automated way to synchronize the ORM model with DB-schema and Java classes, made significant CayenneModeler UI improvements. More new features are likely to happen in the coming months. * We are in preparations to release 4.0.M2. ### Community * dev@ list activity is higher than before, due to the active discussions of the new 4.0 features. * There seems to be a trend of declining activity on the user@ list though. Not specifically in this quarter, more like a long-term trend, partially explained by good support provided on stackoverflow, partially perhaps by the project maturity. * We receive steady contributions from two new developers. * The last PMC member was added in December 2012. * The last committer was added in May 2012.
