There are lots of ways to get started. First of all it would probably be
best to get a working database setup (Oracle/Sybase/PostgreSQL preferred,
but MySQL is OK for simple things too). Then, depending on your IDE of
choice, checking out the source code and getting the ant-based build and
test process to run (you'll need ant first, of course). Setting up
database connections is described in the documentation.
If you can tell us a little more about what IDE and RDBMS you want to use
we can probably say more about how to proceed further. Most of us use
eclipse, but Andriy uses JBuilder and that works fine as well. For both
eclipse and JBuilder we have sample config files in the 'contrib'
subdirectory.
Do you have experience with other persistence layers or OODBMS? :)
