Idehen/Hugh/Sergei,
I did my own research on this. OpenLink wrote the initial virt_jena.jar
driver, and maintains it, but does not enhance it. Sorry for the dumb
questions - I can check this stuff on github.com, but sometimes a conversation
is a good thing.
Sergei, https://github.com/smalinin, github suggests you contributed both the
Jena2 and Jena3 driver and are still contributing to them. Looking at the
commits, OpenLink commits the binary virt_jena2.jar and virt_jena3.jar, and
changes version numbers, from time to time.
It might be good to communicate about the roadmap for these - I see
virt_jena3.jar there, but I know my application would need other changes above
Virtuoso JDBC and virt_jena3 as well to use Jena 3. If we make these, I will
think about any suggestions I could make. Maybe I can make these into
github.com issues, with or without pull requests depending on my availability.

Who is maintaining virt-jena? What is the process of maintaining this, e.g. is
this portion of virtuoso purely contributed, or does OpenLink plan to update it
and maintain it.
My application depends on virt-jena. I will need to tell my boss where an
upgrade to virt-jena is in an OpenLink roadmap, and also, whether we need to
dedicate resources ourselves to keep this up to date, or socialize the issue
with the contributors. The claimed compatibility of virt-jena.jar is very old,
and while it works up to 2.13.0, Jena 3 is now over a year old, and has many
releases.
As a government shop, I ran my webapp dependencies through the OWASP dependency
checker, and while I could make everything compliant, it is not the best way to
override individual dependent libraries, and better to get individual dependent
libraries to be updated. I'd also love to see the process change to use Maven
or Ant with ivy.
Daniel,
We are committed to keeping our native Jena Providers up to date. I'll take a
look at the Jena 3 issue.
