Is there any particular reason why OpenJPA uses the geronimo-jpa_3.0_spec-1.0.jar instead of the http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/javax.persistence/persistence-api/1.0 from https://glassfish.dev.java.net/javaee5/persistence/ (https://glassfish.dev.java.net/source/browse/glassfish/persistence-api/). Is it OSS Licensing mess, use of a CDDL API JAR in a APL libraray a problem?
BTW: I noticed that the persistence-api-1.0-sources.jar (e.g. from http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/maven2/javax/persistence/persistence-api/1.0/) have JavaDoc... while the geronimo-jpa_3.0_spec-1.0-sources.jar or geronimo-jpa_3.0_spec-1.0-javadoc.jar don't. If you use "Source Attachment" in e.g. Eclipse this is handy... Would there be any risk if locally we overwrote dependencies so that developers in our org would use OpenJPA with the persistence-api-1.0.jar instead of the geronimo-jpa_3.0_spec-1.0.jar (in order to have JavaDoc Help in Eclipse?). Probably not - why would there be? Is this "allowed" (more out of curiosity), license wise? Presumably yes?
