[news.eclipse.technology.dali] Re: Dali 2.2 and JPA 2.0 tolerance

Len,

We don't have an official 2.3 plan yet, but I can say that our goal is to 
have generic JPA 2.0 support in the next major release after 2.2.  The 
tentative plan was to do something like an end of year 09 release that 
included generic JPA 2.0 support, with a JPA 2.0 facet version, etc.

Hope this helps,
Neil
