Hi, Thanks for the note and reviving this thread... We are well aware of TomEE's desire for JPA 2.1 support in OpenJPA. It would be great to see JPA 2.1 support in OpenJPA. But, the community contributions in this arena have been slim. This string of notes is one such plea, but there have been others on users and dev mailing lists as well.
Although it has been pointed out that the majority of the current committer set is from IBM (that part is true), we would greatly appreciate and welcome contributions from anybody. I don't think opening up the committership to anybody who requests is a viable or valid solution. I think establishing some expertise by contributing patches (code, test, docs, etc) is a valid process for establishing committer karma. I had started the JPA 2.1 activity by documenting the high-level steps for development: http://openjpa.apache.org/jpa-2.1-tasks.html But, as you can see, it's been pretty dormant. Everybody involved with Apache projects have "day jobs". And, as a good friend of mine once stated, "open source is not free". So, if the JPA 2.1 support is required by the OpenJPA community, then it's time for action. As many of you know, the OpenJPA solution is a very solid, well performing implementation of the JPA specification. But, we will need additional input to make the implementation of JPA 2.1 real. Just telling it like it is...
