I thought about starting a Firebird adaptor but wanted to wait until the
next major release 1.5 has been released, which should be 'really soon
now', whatever that means. Since I couldn't get the current release
candidates running on Windows I put it on hold, though.
As Andrus has indicated, the first step is to get either the latest
release or the nightly build and get the unit tests running via ant; this
is described in the docs. The next step is to create an adaptor-specific
package with a simple JdbcAdapter subclass and a database-specific types
mapping. Then create an entry in connection.properties, run the unit tests
and watch the sparks fly. :)
After that the amount of work really depends on each database. For example
HSQLDB was really simple since it's 'pure Java' and has only a limited
feature set.
If you need more help or have other questions just write to cayenne-devel
or me directly, I'll try to help.
