Craig, I wouldn't say that the Spring Framework has "adopted OpenJPA to provide the Object Relational Mapping for their needs". You could say that OpenJPA is a fully supported JPA persistence provider along with TopLink Essentials and Hibernate. Spring is a different case compared to some of the other projects mentioned since it's a framework and it's up to the Spring users to decide which O/R Mapping solution to "adopt" :).
