Summary:
"I am pleased the JSR220-ORM Project is transitioning to this new phase in the Eclipse development process," said Robert Greene (pictured), vice president of product strategy at Versant, as the JSR220-ORM Project proposed by Versant in March of this year - to provide a common framework for delivering productivity and consistency in the important area of object-relational mapping - received on Friday the approval of the Eclipse Foundation.

JSR220 is the specification defining the standard for object-relational mapping (ORM) in Java.

The Eclipse JSR220-ORM Project will produce standards-based, object-relational mapping design-time tooling in Eclipse. ORM has emerged in the last year as a critical missing piece of software architecture in the drive to make the J2EE platform more powerful and easier to program. The Eclipse JSR220-ORM Project is designed to bring common tooling to the Java and Eclipse community to expand programming productivity and the value of Eclipse.

"The creation of the JSR220-ORM project is an important milestone for the Eclipse community," said Mike Milinkovich, executive director of the Eclipse Foundation, Inc. "This project will provide a common framework for delivering productivity and consistency in the important area of object-relational mapping."
