I'm pleased to announce that the incubator has recommended, and the Apache board has accepted, a resolution to create the OpenJPA Top Level Project.
OpenJPA is a project that implements Object Relational Mapping, for the standard JCP JSR-220 Java Persistence API (JPA). The working code base passes the JCP TCK for JSR-220 100%, meaning it is fully compliant with the standard.
OpenJPA is based on a contribution by BEA of the mapping engine and JPA interface from the popular Kodo project. In an interesting turnabout, the latest release of Kodo is now dependent on OpenJPA.
During its incubation at Apache, OpenJPA has attracted support from a diverse set of contributors, committers, and users from several independent individuals and companies. The project has learned how to govern itself and has produced two releases while in incubation.
The community plans to shortly release version 1.0.0 of OpenJPA, reflecting the maturity and production quality of the code base.
To assist in developing OpenJPA applications, plugin modules are available for the maven software project management and comprehension tool. Other plugins for popular IDE's are being developed.
Many other projects have now adopted OpenJPA to provide the Object Relational Mapping for their needs, including Apache OpenMQ, BEA Kodo, BEA WebLogic, Apache Camel, Apache Geronimo, Apache Ode, OpenEJB, Spring Framework, and IBM WebSphere.
