		<description>
			Dali JPA Tools Project is to build extensible frameworks and
			exemplary tools for the definition and editing of
			Object-Relational (O/R) mappings for EJB 3.0 Java
			Persistence API (JPA) Entities. JPA mapping support will
			focus on minimizing the complexity of mapping by providing
			creation and automated initial mapping wizards, and
			programming assistance such as dynamic problem
			identification.

			The focus of Dali is support for JPA O/R mapping which is
			concerned with the persistence of in memory Java POJOs to
			relational databases. The title of the famous painting "The
			Persistence of Memory" aptly describes the goal of the JPA
			specification and provides the link to the Spanish painter
			Salvador Dali.
