I see a lot of SNAPSHOT references in the poms. Many of these are for
artifact-alias entries which shouldn't be a problem (but I wonder if
they are really necessary ... such as reference for openjpa
2.0.0-SNAPSHOT).
Also, is it really essential to have SNAPSHOT versions of Geronimo
artifacts in the plugin artifact-alias entries? I thought we could
accomplish the same thing in server artifact-alias entries so that
plugin could be "clean". For example, can't we include artifact-alias
entries in Geronimo 2.1.6-SNAPSHOT to map references for 2.1.5 artifacts
to the 2.1.6-SNAPSHOT equivalent such that when we release Geronimo
2.1.6 the SNAPSHOT entries would be removed? I know it's not a big deal
for artifact-alias entries but I always get a little nervous when I see
SNAPSHOT references in release in any form.
However, there is a bigger concern I think - a 2.1.3-SNAPSHOT version
for jpa-tests and references to that from jpa-ear, jpa-ejb, and jpa-war.

I've created a release candidate of a set of plugins that can be
used to upgrade an existing Geronimo 2.1.3, 2.1.4, 2.1.5 or
2.1.6-SNAPSHOT server from OpenJPA 1.x to the new OpenJPA 2.0.0 release,
so users can start experimenting with a JPA 2.0 certified codebase.
You can install the plugins by using the console Plugin portlet and
Updating the existing plugin repos to see the g.a.o/plugins/openjpa2 or
you can try using the following mirror catalog site:
http://people.apache.org/~dwoods/geronimo/openjpa2/
Staging repo:
https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachegeronimo-017/
Source tag:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/plugins/openjpa2/tags/2.1.3/
Source tar/zips:
https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachegeronimo-017/org/apache/geronimo/plugins/openjpa2/2.1.3/
For plugin installation instructions, see:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/plugins/openjpa2/tags/README.txt
Note: There are 2 plugins at version 2.1.3 to install (openjpa2 and
persistence-deployer-jpa20.) You will need to restart your server
before running or deploying apps that need JPA2 so the artifactAlias
entries will take affect and replace already loaded OpenJPA 1.x and spec
jars.
The latest version of Daytrader 2.1.3 that can be used for testing can
be installed as a plugin from:
http://people.apache.org/~dwoods/daytrader-2.1.3/
Vote will be open for 72 hours.
