Well, here's some food for thought from my *personal* (biased .. ;-))
perspective.
A) We are going to move 1.0 (finally) quite soon.
B) We are (fairly) feature complete.
C) We have a very business-friendly license (unlike Hibernate).
D) We will provide Spring integration quite soon (like it exists for Hiberate
and other ORMs).
E) We are going to provide EJB 3.0 compliance (read an JPA implementation) soon
after the 1.0 release (and hopefully before the 1.1 release).
F) Castor JDO is not enganged into 'political wars'. Excuse the lack of fantasy
here, but I could not think about a better wording rigth now.
I do reckognize that we lack documentation in all places, but as there's no
commercial framework (and organization) behind Castor (JDO), this project
relies on its committers (and user community); I would not call the latter a
disadvantage, thoug .. ;-).
Justt my 0.02 (Euro) cents worth ..
If people decide between open *source* products, they should consider the
openess of the *development* process too. There are some interesting ongoing
discussions[1] as more and more companies/organizations are trying to exploit
the Open Source wave.
BTW, I'm sure that Castor belongs to these projects with a very open development
process :-)
