How will the Java Persistence API evolve now that JSR 220 has been completed?
We expect to spin off the Java Persistence API into its own new JSR for future evolution. This means subsequent versions of the Java Persistence API will not be tied to future EJB JSRs. We expect to continue to draw expertise from a diversity of sources, quite likely including many of the members of the JSR 220 Expert Group who helped define the Java Persistence API.
