Release Notes for OpenJPA * Overview * License * Prerequisites * Documentation * Getting Involved * Bugs * Improvements * New Features * Task * Test Overview These notes describe the difference between OpenJPA release 1.1.0 and the preceding releases, 0.9.6, 0.9.7, and 1.0.0. OpenJPA is a feature-rich implementation of the persistence part of Java Community Process JSR-220 (Enterprise JavaBeans 3.0), which is known as the Java Persistence API (JPA). OpenJPA can be used as a stand-alone POJO persistence layer, or it can be integrated into any EJB3.0 compliant container and many lightweight frameworks. This release of OpenJPA is 100% compliant with the JPA specification.

Prerequisites In normal usage, OpenJPA requires Java 5 or higher and a relational database of some sort. Documentation If you have questions about OpenJPA, a good source of information is the online product manual. You can find the manual for the current release as well as older releases of OpenJPA at http://openjpa.apache.org/documentation.html If you can't find what you're looking for in the manual or would like more clarification you please post to the OpenJPA development mailing list.
