1. Is EOF going to support JPA (Java Persistence Architecture)
anytime soon?

3. Any word on open source status?
We have been seriously investigating Hibernate. Hibernate has
mountains of
documentation (it seems to be very complex in comparison to EOF) and a
pretty vibrant developer community. We are also considering JSF as a
replacement for the WebObjects components. The move would not be
easy but in
light of the lack of news I don't think we have a lot of choice from a
business perspective.
Any news is good news.

One of my colleagues has been using Hibernate because he's part of an
open source project that requires him to find a solution outside of
WebObjects. He bitches about missing EOF almost daily (and that's
after a year of working with it). If there is no technological
reason for you to leave WebObjects then it would be a mistake to do
so. If your concern is that you feel Hibernate or JSF has a more
vibrant community then WebObjects then I think your concern is
unfounded. I'd be surprised if any community based initiative has a
more committed core than WebObjects and that includes the dozens of
developers within Apple projects, like iTunes and the Apple Store (I
got that from Wikipedia, not from any specific knowledge gained at
WWDC under NDA).
There's lots of news and it's all good news for anyone who hopes to
continue working in WebObjects.
A wise man once said that there is nothing in the NDA against saying
that you are happy, and I am very happy. :)
