Yes! A little christmas present from the OJB team!
I did not make a loud proclamation, as we have not done any thorough 
testing and did not even try to run the testsuite shipped with the JDO 
reference implementation.

Depends. If you want to try out things, start learning JDO, experiment, 
etc. this solution will be fine.

- But if you need something rocksolid, thoroughly tested, I'd still 
recomend the ODMG implementation.

- the usage of the JDO RI is restricted by SUN's license.

- There may be bugs in my plugin code. If we find them: fine, I'll fix 
them asap. But what happens if you find bugs in SUN's JDO RI?
I'm not sure they will provide any support for it.

cheers,
Thomas
