Where's JDO?
  Riddle me this: The JDO specification (JSR 12) has been final since April 30th, 2002 and a reference implementation is available but the only page with information provided by Sun is this ugly one with a hodpog of links which doesn't even live on the standard Java site. Why isn't JDO getting the attention that all the new XML/Web Services APIs are getting? There seems to be industry acceptance of JDO as evidenced by a number of commercial implementations of the spec. The grassroots support appears to be there as well as evidenced by JDO Central. Why isn't Sun promoting their attempt at a standard, transparent persistence API? It's not like this isn't an important problem. Has someone convinced them that JDO is so bad that it should be swept under the carpet and forgotten?
