Hello, David! Thanks for all the details. However, there is another point that currently worries me: is there any progress on the OpenJPA side of things? By looking at the commits log on GitHub (which should mirror the Apache repository), it doesn't seem like a 3.x release that targets JPA 2.1 will happen anytime soon. Furthermore, the issues targeted at version 3.0.0 in OpenJPA's JIRA seem not to have received any attention for over a year. Therefore, unless I am mistaken about OpenJPA's current condition, I don't see TomEE [non-Plume] implementing all of Java EE 7 soon either, never mind Java EE 8 with JPA 2.2.
