[Crossposted from eclipse.technology.ejb-orm, subject is the overlap between ejb-orm and jsr-220 projects]

This question of overlap and working together also came up in the JSR220-ORM
projects Creation Review.  I will tell you the same answer I gave the review
committee.  I think it would be best to have a single project.  We attempted
to participate in an open forum discussion moderated by other companies to
see where we could work together .  I laid out the entire scope of what we
were doing publicaly and suggested ways we could collaborate and to my
disappointment never received even a single response in the open forum or
otherwise.   Not even a response that said, "thank you for your offer, but
we respectfully decline any involvement together".  Instead, we got
absolutely zero response.   Hard to work as a single community towards a
single solution with that level of communication.   So, we continued forward
building our own community and tooling which will be released shortly.
This is really sad to hear about, as it is a precedence of substantial fragmentation to occur among eclipse technology sub-projects.

Does the eclipse technology PMC have knowledge of this, namely Bjorn Freeman Benson? Is there nothing that can be done about it? Has there been any action taken on behalf of the PMC to consolidate the two projects into one? If yes, why did it not succeed, and if not, is there any reasoning behind it or has this potential for fragmentation been simply overlooked?

Hoping for reason to come back in here,
Jörg.

Maybe this is the opportunity to explain what exactly is the difference
between this project and the jsr220-orm project, which was also accepted
recently? The only difference I can see is the already contributed code
and the participants..

thanks,
Christian
