Hi

Thanks for asking this, I am also not sure about the releases right now.

And I've got one more question: Version 2.0 is scheduled for this fall and I am
very keen on that since I want to dig into JPA 2 and not bothering with the old
spec to long. Is it possible to use EclipseLink 2.0 in an RCP app right away, or
do we have to wait for the next eclipse simultaneous release next summer?
