| <P>The JSR220-ORM Project's goal is to provide a 100% compliant implementation of |
| the JSR 220 persistence and JSR 243 specifications integrated with the Eclipse |
| platform. Further, the goal of the project is to track the changes to these |
| specifications, so that in addition, as they merge together towards a common |
| persistence standard, it will be fully implemented by this project. Finally, |
| the goal is to provide visual development tools that facilitate round trip |
| engineering when using the JSR 220/243 approach to persistence.</P> |

| <P>The JSR220-ORM Project is strictly tied to the JSR 220 and 243 specifications. |
| Further it will undoubtedly have dependencies on or provide dependencies to |
| other sub projects within the Eclipse Data Tools Project and Web Tools Project. |
| Additionally, elements of the project will depend on JDK 1.5 for |
| annotation support required in JSR 220.</P> |

| <P><STRONG>Milestone 1 plan:</STRONG> April 18th, 2005 Release initial Versant Open |
| Access - 4.0 commercial implementation of EJB 3.0 and JDO 2.0 ( JSR 220/243 ) |
| to the open source community which includes initial Eclipse integration ( |
| lacking integration with other Data Tool Projects ) for public review, comment |
| and contribution. This is a proposal phase opportunity for the |
| community to provide feedback and get involved.</P> |
| <P><STRONG>Milestone 2 plan:</STRONG> June 1st, 2005 Release remaining intended |
| functionality of current Versant Open Access 4.0 stand alone visual development |
| tooling, including remaining elements of round trip engineering, visual query |
| builder and object viewer into a fully integrated Eclipse plugin. Release full |
| EJBQL capabilities for JSR 220 support. Present a plan for integrating other |
| identified areas of overlap with other Eclipse projecting including but not |
| limited to <A href="/proposals/eclipse-dtp/main.html">Data |
| Tools Project</A> and <A href="/webtools/">Web Tools |
| Project</A> . Provide review of any new JSR 220 drafts that affect future |
| milestones. |
| </P> |
| <P><STRONG>Milestone 3 plan:</STRONG> August 2005 Release JSR 220 updates that |
| include implementation of all JSR 220 defaults, implementation of JSR 220 meta |
| data for object relational mapping where different from JSR 243. Deliver |
| removal of all vendor specific extensions relating to JSR 243 preview |
| functionality. |
| </P> |
| <P>The above Milestones are visible and achievable. Other elements including <A href="/proposals/eclipse-dtp/main.html">Data |
| Tools Project</A> and <A href="/webtools/">Web Tools |
| Project</A> integration and changes in the evolving JSR 220 |
| specification are less definite. As the months progress, it is expected that |
| these other issues will become clearer and community involvement will be better |
| understood so that ongoing milestones can be established. It is also expected |
| that community involvement will reprioritize deliverables and timelines of |
| milestones |
