1.0 Milestone 1 Now Available

We are pleased to announce that EclipseLink 1.0M1 is available for download.

This is our first milestone as we work toward a 1.0 release. The current functionality and related materials produced for this milestone are available here.

This milestone is feature-rich with our native object-relational and object-XML support . Complete support for JPA 1.0 (with many important extensions) and almost complete JAXB 2.0 and SDO 2.1.

For those Oracle TopLink customers wishing to try out EclipseLink we have published an example to assist. Additional examples are available here.

Please download the milestone and try it out we are eager to get feedback.

EclipseLink Update: Source checked in

We are happy to announce that under the Eclipse parallel IP review process we have checked the initial source contribution (Oracle TopLink) into the Eclipse SVN repository.

The EclipseLink committers are now busy resolving some open issues related to the switch to ANTR 3.0 and the default XML parser. When these issues are resolved and our build process fine tuned we'll produce a 0.1-incubation distribution for early adopters to work with. We expect this to be accomplished within next couple of weeks.

If you have any questions about EclipseLink functionality please send them to eclipselink-dev@eclipse.org
