JPA is the wrapper as far as I understand.

In the current version I recall there being a "Manager" interface that encapsulates the Hibernate API, and I thought the JPA work was another implementation of that interface. Am I wrong?

Hibernate implements JPA, other things implement JPA.

Roller won't require any "vendor-specific" extensions to the JPA? I've been reading "Java Persistence with Hibernate" and the authors imply that to do anything "real" you'll need extensions to JPA

Posh.

This is a classic vendor response to a standard API. Unless you continue to use Hibernate you won't be able to deploy your "real application".

whether you use Hibernate or not.
