Parece que alguém lá de cima da Sun resolveu parar com essa guerra entre o pessoal que define EJB (JSR-220) e JDO (JSR-243). Acho que se eles não se entendessem iam mandar despedir os dois… Mas como tudo que é definido por comitês, é bem capaz de surgir um “monstro” desse esforço de unificar EJB com JDO.

Starting this reconciliation effort now is very timely given that both the EJB and JDO specifications are going through significant revisions. As specification leads for EJB 3.0 (JSR-220) and JDO 2.0 (JSR-243), we have jointly created the following plan to move this community effort forward:
…
We believe this is a unique opportunity for the Java community to create a common POJO persistence model for both J2SE and J2EE. Some of the industry’s best minds will be collaborating to agree upon this standard. By incorporating best-of-breed design concepts, this common POJO persistence model will further strengthen the Java platform.
We are asking the entire Java technology community to support us and the efforts of the JSR-220 Expert Group. We’d like to encourage everyone to contribute to the direction of this persistence work by reviewing the specification drafts and sending us your feedback. Your input is crucial to the continued success of the Java platform.
