Hey Kevin, Thanks for the reply. To be clear, I'm not actually creating a JDO plugin. Rather I'm migrating what I've done from JDO to JPA. The demand for JPA is much greater in the community, and we would prefer to use it here as well. My biggest hurdle is finding good developer documentation to allow me to create the best plugin possible using open JPA. If you can give me any guidance on the issues below for a JPA only implementation, I would really appreciate it.
