Hi Martin, Olivier,
I had good experience with jooq [1][2] which is not jpa and is imho
easier to use. It's also ALv2, maybe something to consider?

Hi Martin,
Where to start is always a good question :-)
Regarding JPA it concerns only redback-core part as we do not use anymore
database in archiva core.
IMHO this one can be fun to implement (remember we cannot use library such
hibernate because GPL but jpa has many other implementation even @ apache
:-) )
Otherwise have a look at issues scheduled for 2.2.2
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MRM/fixforversion/12335832/

Hi,
I looked at the JIRA tickets and think many of the are obsolete because
they
are very old or for different versions.
I'm willing to help but currently do not know where to start. I'm currently
trying to understand the codebase, but I'm a bit lost. I do not really know
which parts are more historic , which important. If some of you know some
specific issues that should be fixed and may be fixed without changing the
complete codebase, please tell me or better give me the JIRA link.
Or if there are some major tasks that are needed to bring the project
forward,
tell me.
Olivier mentioned switching the persistence library to JPA is one thing
that
may be tried, because of some JDK incompatibilities with the current
implementation. I will look at this, but it would be helpful, if someone
can
give some hints what components may be involved in such a change.
I would like to keep the product stable working and I'm more interested in
fixing bugs and improving the usability. I think major changes that break
the
build and does not produce a running product for a long time will be fatal
for
the project.
Another question: The project page shows a lot of committers, are there
any of
them still active or is this list more like a gallery of ancestral
committers?
And who keeps the automatic build running?
Greetings
Martin
