The Teneo EMF/EclipseLink integration work is near completion but was 
waiting on the availability of EclipseLink as OSGi bundles.  These bundles 
are now available so I can now get back to the Teneo code.  Unfortunately 
EMF added new API in Ganymede so I also need to address these changes too 
before the code is finished.

After we have the EMF/EclipseLink integration working our next step will 
be to integrate with the existing Teneo code generation tooling.  Our 
initial goal with EMF/EclipseLink integration was to suppport 
meet-in-the-middle mapping of an existing EMF domain model to an existing 
relational database with JPA.  Once we have this necessary functionality 
we can work on model driven application development that starts with an 
EMF Model and generates the classes, JPA mappings, and DDL.
