I've used Hibernate extensively for many types of projects.
Once I got through the learning curve for OpenJPA I never went back.
Why?
Because I can do away with all the extra crap Hibernate has to have.
Maintenance is easier, etc, etc.
Thats not to say Hibernate is not a good technology, its fairly mature,
but I like that all I need is a few annotations to make OpenJPA work.

Has anyone done a comparison of Hibernate versus OpenJPA that compares
ease-of-use, caching, tool support, legacy integration, etc.? Perhaps such an
internal report was used to decide which ORM tool to pick. If so, what were the
results?
