It is very interesting to see Intel, IBM and Redhat strongly
supporting Apache's position on this. Excellent.
Even though Apache voted no, this JSR will go forward. What is the
Apache position on being part of the expert group? (By the way, is
Apache/OpenJPA/Cayenne PMC/Cayenne committers/Andrus on the expert
group? Is it a per person thing or an organisation thing?) I
understand and agree with Apache's position on the openness of the
TCK, however it appears that JSR-317 will have an open TCK and there
should be no licensing reason not to use it.
It is one thing to make a stand, but this might become an important
JSR to implement in the future, so we can't ignore it.
