everyone still wants to use hibernate :-)).
I'm really interested in what's going to happen at/with harmony in
this
respect.
I think it's going to go something like this. We're going to have a
handful of VM subprojects, a tools subproject, and a class library
subproject, and people will vote with their feet. I expect that in
the longer term, we'll settle on one main VM effort as we take what
we learn and focus on our "production" effort. That said, given the
sophistication of that VM, we'll have smaller, simpler VMs still
around for learning and experimentation...
I expect it all to be harmonious and peaceful...
