> Depending on where you look, there's currently contradicting information about the JPA specification version compliance of OpenJPA.
> - The [project homepage|http://openjpa.apache.org/] states 3.0 "targets" JPA 2.1.
> - The [3.0 announcement|http://openjpa.apache.org/openjpa-3.0.x.html#OpenJPA-3.0.0] states 3.0 is "based on" JPA 2.2.
> - The [About section of the reference documentation|http://openjpa.apache.org/builds/3.0.0/apache-openjpa/docs/manual.html#openjpa_intro] states that 3.0 implements JPA 2.0.
> It would be cool if this could be clarified. I assume the latter is just an oversight and a missing update. However it would also be cool if for the former two, it could be clarified what being "based on" and "targetting" actually means.
> A [Twitter conversation|https://twitter.com/odrotbohm/status/1081713555290972160] seems to reveal that 3.0 *implements* 2.1 and has partial support for 2.2 features. Would be cool if that could be confirmed and documented accordingly, esp. which of the 2.2 features are supposed to work.
> So to me it looks like follows:
> - 2.x – implements JPA 2.0
> - 3.0 – implements JPA 2.1, partial support for 2.2
> The [Wikipedia page on JPA|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_Persistence_API] could use an update on this as well. I can help with that, if you come to a decision what to phrase the current state of affairs.
> Thanks and keep up the great work!
