Patrick,
Question on the jdk levels you support...

Just curious...  How are these previous jdk levels supported with the JPA
spec?  There are various features of JDK 5 that are being used within the
JPA interfaces and spec (ie. annotations, generics, enums,
ClassFileTransformers, etc).  How will the OpenJPA implementation support
these features in jdk 1.3 and jdk 1.4?  Or, are these older levels of the
jdk supported just for the kernel?

Which, if that's the case, then is the kernel useable by itself?  Is there
some level of base function (regardless of the persistence personality bein=
g
developed -- jdo, jpa, etc) provided by the kernel?

Thanks,
Kevin
