Hi Milinda, Yes, there is some interest in allowing OpenJPA usage in an OSGi container environment. It's just not a "full time job" for any of us at the moment...
Porting the JDK 6 changes back to the 1.3.x release might cause some concern for those users of the 1.3.x branch. Many of the changes would now require the use of JDK 6 and we didn't want to force this onto the JPA 1.0 usage community. Thus, we limited the change to trunk for our JPA 2.0 development [1]. Is there any reason why your experimentation and changes couldn't be targeted for the JPA 2.0 implementation? I think you will find our current M3 driver is quite solid, especially as it pertains to existing JPA 1.0 functionality. Thus, any current JPA 1.0 applications should run unchanged with a JPA 2.0 driver.
