Attendees: Michael Bouschen, Peter Kriens, Craig Russell

Agenda:

1. The Perfect OSGi Persistence 
Model?http://blog.osgi.org/2013/08/the-perfect-osgi-persistence-model.html

Peter Kriens joined the call to discuss the blog. Looked at MongoDB and then 
tried to put together a persistence framework for OSGi. OSGi modularity is 
enforced. For example, using globals, dynamic class loading are problematic. 
Service registry is key to OSGi. But this model is not part of Java EE.

Peter started with a model that doesn't depend on Java EE but follows OSGi. Has 
some "glue code" to integrate Java Transaction Service and OpenJPA. Wants to 
eliminate glue code.

Ideally, he would like to get rid of optionality and some flexibility in the 
JPA specification. Favor standard integration with OSGi instead of so much 
flexibility. 

Peter will implement his blog application in various implementations and will 
continue the discussion via jdo-dev email.

2. News on JDO-678 "Ability to set properties on PersistenceManager"

Ready to close this JIRA. Any other issues?

3. JDO release candidate https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JDO-723

In progress. It looks like it is ok to have just one source distribution 
containing both api and tck (and dependent projects). And a convenience binary 
containing just the api (also available on Maven Central).
