[ANNOUNCE] Apache OpenJPA 1.0.0 released

[Marc Prud'hommeaux <mp...@apache.org>]

The Apache OpenJPA community is pleased to announce the release of  
Apache OpenJPA version 1.0.0. The release is available for download at:

    http://openjpa.apache.org/downloads.html

Introduction
------------

OpenJPA is a 100% compliant feature-rich implementation of the  
persistence part of Enterprise Java Beans 3.0, also known as the Java  
Persistence API (JPA). It can be used as a stand-alone POJO  
persistence layer, or it can be integrated into any EJB3.0 compliant  
container and many lightweight frameworks.

Apache OpenJPA 1.0.0 is a major release, and the first one since the  
project graduated from incubation in May of 2007.
