RE: While I see the sarcasm dripping here :)
In the words of Borat, "Yees!".
Crank is not tied to JPA per se (as you will see when you review the code).
I don't plan on providing my own ORM or ActiveRecord so don't see how a
scaffold = true is possible. Besides there is lots of meta-data in those
annotations (JPA and validation).
Presto, which is Cranks older more muture half brother (closed source), did
work with iBatis (but under duress... I did it b/c I was paid to do it... I
would not have picked it... It was pretty cool in the end... but I came in
scratching and kicking).
I guess if someone wrote a decent Active Record for Java (which there may
already be so no offense), you could easily plug that into Crank. I have no
interests per se (at this time). I am very happy with JPA/Hibernate, and
most of my clients have picked it. If I did an ActiveRecord impl it would be
merely for intellectual curiosity (IC), not b/c I would be getting paid for
it. (I wrote QBE support for that reason as well as Ajax driven validation
based on annotations so IC plays a part in what I work on....)
Mostly what I do for my day job occupies enough of my IC to keep me
satisfied.
Crank has a lot of IC funness in it. I wrote a Criteria DSL with QBE which
was a lot of fun. There are some cool bits. :o)
Do you think Grail/Groovy will be more mainstream? If so, when?

While I see the sarcasm dripping here :), perhaps a scaffolding system
would be nice. I was looking at the sample code and I am seeing a
*lot* of code that is easily generated. Of course, any actual
framework is more interesting than code generation that can happen,
but as we see in grails and rails and other new frameworks, the
scaffolding is becoming more and more a "must" rather than just a
bonus.
Unfortunately, it's not going to be until next week that I'm going to
be able to look into Crank, but I'll try to give a more detailed
opinion then. :)

Thanks... Wow... I have never heard of RoR.
How does RoR read JPA annotations? I thought RoR was for Ruby.
Thanks for your feedback on Cranks master/detail, pagination, sorting,
relationship mgmt, etc. I really appreciate it.
