OJB provides a plugin to the JDO reference implementation. By using this
plugin you can write JDO compliant applications running against the OJB O/R
mapping.
See here for a sample application:
http://jakarta.apache.org/ojb/tutorial4.html.

The OJB projects is also planning to provide a clean room JDO transaction
manager on top of the existing OJB layers.

That's not correct. OJB started to write a generic O/R mapping tool that
provides multiple "personalities" or APIs.

Not correct. Have a look at my OjbStore Plugin. It consists of 5 classes and
1 exception!
And still provides full JDO functionality (by pluggin into JDORI)!

not correct. It has a cleanly designed layering. It is designed to build
high level transaction managers like ODMG and JDO on top of its core API.
It was build with JDO in mind! The existing ODMG layer is in fact quite
thin!

Id rather suggest to join efforts with the OJB team. We have even started to
talk with SUNs JDO team to join efforts...

cheers,
