Just to drive this point home, would you argue that Kodo is not as good
as the "authoritative" RI for JDO or JPA?
Why are we bothering with OpenJPA when the "authoritative" JPA exists in
Glassfish?

Why is one implementation "official" and another isn't if the are both

My understanding is that the Geronimo spec jars only exist as a stopgap
measure to allow Geronimo to be built without having to jump through the
Sun jar "coping" hoops
(http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-coping-with-sun-jars.html).
Now that they are publicly available, it seems clear to me that we
should use the authoritative jars whenever possible.
And why not use something from a sister project to make it better?
I was operating under the assumption that Geronimo itself would move to
use these authoritative jars. Perhaps someone from the Geronimo team can
confirm or deny this?

+1 for using the official JTA libraries, rather than the stopgap
Geronimo clones.
I'll update the pom.xml unless anyone objects.

Hi,
You might find this of interest. The JDO project recently updated
our jta dependencies.
maven.repo.remote =

This is the official JTA 1.1 jar that is available at the java.net
repository.
The library was compiled with JDK 1.3 so it can be used with any of
the openjpa libraries.
