Before voting officially on this, I would like to hear from the OpenEJB and OpenJPA communities, of the apparent overlap in scope and whether we will see some form of convergence between the projects has been discussed, and if so what the conclusions are.
Hi Niclas, I wonder what you meant by 'apparent overlap'. EJB 3.0 spec is made of two parts - EJB 3.0 Core and JPA. The former is what OpenEJB aims for whereas the latter is what OpenJPA takes care of. They're complimentary. Moreover OpenEJB CMP 2.1 is laid on OpenJPA, that shows our relationship and cooperation. It's not that Apache Geronimo is the place they can live together, but it's an excellent RI for their promises ;-) In its default distro - Apache Geronimo 2 provides EJB 3.0 via OpenEJB 3.0-SNAPSHOT, which in turn provides JPA via OpenJPA 0.9.6. I couldn't think of any better relationship and partnership and /* whatever */ than it's happening now. (I hope I haven't messed it up too much and am not too biased to not notice any obvious similarities we haven't leveraged yet).
