Essentials and Hibernate.  Spring is a different case compared to some
of the other projects mentioned since it's a framework and it's up to
the Spring users to decide which O/R Mapping solution to "adopt" :).

I wouldn't say that the Spring Framework has "adopted OpenJPA to provide OpenJPA is a fully supported JPA persistence provider along with TopLink

Good point. I've changed the wording in the announcement to make this clear.

I'm pleased to announce that the incubator has recommended, and the
Apache board has accepted, a resolution to create the OpenJPA Top
Level Project.

OpenJPA is a project that implements Object Relational Mapping, for
the standard JCP JSR-220 Java Persistence API (JPA). The working code
base passes the JCP TCK for JSR-220 100%, meaning it is fully
compliant with the standard.

OpenJPA is based on a contribution by BEA of the mapping engine and
JPA interface from the popular Kodo project. In an interesting
turnabout, the latest release of Kodo is now dependent on OpenJPA.

During its incubation at Apache, OpenJPA has attracted support from a
diverse set of contributors, committers, and users from several
independent individuals and companies. The project has learned how to
govern itself and has produced two releases while in incubation.

The community plans to shortly release version 1.0.0 of OpenJPA,
reflecting the maturity and production quality of the code base.

To assist in developing OpenJPA applications, plugin modules are
available for the maven software project management and comprehension
tool. Other plugins for popular IDE's are being developed.

Many other projects have now adopted OpenJPA to provide the Object

BEA WebLogic, Apache Camel, Apache Geronimo, Apache Ode, OpenEJB,
Spring Framework, and IBM WebSphere.
