The Apache DB group voted on a new JDO proposal. The new proposal spells out a place for some serious JDO work to happen.
It has been brought together with leaders in the Apache, other open source, and JDO worlds:
Abe White, SolarMetric, JDO expert group member
Brian McCallister, OJB committer
Craig Russell, Sun, JDO Specification Lead
Dain Sundstrom, GlueCode, Geronimo committer
Erik Bengtson, JPOX committer
Geir Magnusson, GlueCode, Geronimo committer
Michael Bouschen, JDO expert group member
Michelle Caisse, Sun, JDO TCK developer
Patrick Linskey, SolarMetric, JDO expert group member
Victor Kirkebo, Sun, JDO TCK developer
There are six initial subprojects envisioned:
JDO 1.0 API
JDO 1.0 Reference Implementation
JDO 1.0 Technology Compatibility Kit
JDO 2.0 API
JDO 2.0 Technology Compatibility Kit
JDO 2.0 Geronimo integration
I witnessed a lot of good talk at ApacheCon, and I am happy to hear that it is coming to fruition. With these fine blokes behind it, I am hopeful for a top notch JDO implementation with an Apache brand.
Someone already asked "Doesn't OJB support JDO?" to which Brian McCallister replied:
OJB supports a JDO interface via a plugin to the JDO 1.0.X reference implementation (which is SCSL, non-commercial variant) so is basically useless right now. This same RI is part of the initial codebase for this project, so the OJB JDO 1.0.X interface can actually become useful =)
