The JPA 1.0 RI was TopLink Essentials from Oracle. Sun has no JPA
implementation, really. I suppose you could say that it's OpenJPA, but
that's really Apache's, from BEA, which is, oh yeah, now Oracle. Harumph.

It was Red Hat who bought JBoss, and so Hibernate. Maybe for some reason
Sun wants the RI rather to come from Oracle than from Red Hat?
Uhm, or where did the JPA RI come from so far?

Sun does not seem to make any sense these days. They have sponsored
the best API, JDO, for years.
Then they let the EJB folks create JPA, which they tried to get to
subsume JDO.
Now they go with TopLink, an Oracle product, right after they have
bought JBoss?
It just makes no sense.

This vote is to release the Apache JDO 2.1 specification, TCK, and

[+1] Release JDO 2.1 specification, api, tck, enhancer, model, and util
[0] Don't care
[-1] Don't releaseJDO 2.1 specification, api, tck, enhancer, model,

The specification is available at
http://db.apache.org/jdo/specifications.html. The TCK can be tested
from the staging area,
http://people.apache.org/~mcaisse/jdo2.1-rc2/dist. Please follow the
directions at http://wiki.apache.org/jdo/ReleaseTesting2dot1 for
downloading and testing. It would be useful if you would record the
results of your testing there.
Please test and vote. Voting will close at noon PDT Monday, March 24.
