Remember that this project is driven by the community it serves. This is
an Eclipse project filling a need in the eclipse platform, and not a
Versant product. Versant is not the only company involved in this project.
VOA customers will have a choice between JDO and the new api and will not
be forced to do anything. Development has not stopped on the workbench and
VOA does still ship with an (JDO) eclipse plugin. VOA users are not short
on tools that support JDO, but have no tools for the new api.
